Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1762 LM-JM MS61 NGC, Lima mint, KM68, Onza-674, Fr-24. Featuring a sharp and expressive bust of Charles, this exciting 8 Escudos achieves admirable visual appeal by force of its clear features and balanced strike. The surfaces unveil a deep orange tone, a testament to its age, which only serves to render it all the more charming. Two small flan imperfections are noted near the King's forehead and within the "A" in "HISPAN" but do not detract from this impressive specimen.
