Ferdinand VI gold Cob "8 Escudos Cross Reverse" 4 Escudos 1750 L-R MS63 NGC, Lima mint, KM-A47. A rare and popular type, struck with an 8 Escudos reverse die. This spectacular Mint State offering exhibits an exceptionally sharp obverse strike with almost full detailing, the reverse only slightly off-center (the use of the oversized 8 Escudos die limiting the design to its central cross). Bright and lustrous, with hints of deeper honey tone forming in the centers. One of the finest specimens one could hope to obtain of this interesting error type.
