PERU. 8 Escudos, 1760-LM JM. Lima Mint. Ferdinand VI. NGC AU-50. KM59.2; Fr-20. Only one example graded finer at NGC. Struck in the final year of the reign of Ferdinand VI. A hard to find date with examples rarely appearing at auction. Attractive gold color adds to the character of this this lightly worn piece.
Ferdinand VI passed away in August of 1759 and, having no children, was succeeded by his half-brother, Charles III.
