Mexico
Augustin I Iturbide gold 8 Escudos 1823 Mo-JM MS60 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM314, Fr-60, Onza-1779. The final 8 Escudos issue of the First Mexican Empire, struck just before Iturbide's downfall in March of 1823. Bright and lustrous with scintillating golden fields marked by amber tones at the peripheries. Light adjustment and central weakness on the reverse is common for the type, which itself is anything but! This representative is one of only a handful graded at the Mint State level and represents a scarce opportunity for the conditionally conscious collector.
