Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1712 L-M MS61 NGC, Lima mint, KM38.2, Cal-23. 26.90gm. Ex. 1715 Plate Fleet. By all accounts an extremely handsome representative of this 1715 Plate Fleet issue, free of much of the usual doubling that so often plagues the type, while the surfaces appear wholly original and studded with die polish lines. Both the field and peripheral dates are remarkably legible, a scarce feat, and virtually the entirety of the marginal legends can still be read with little effort.
