Peru
South Peru. Republic gold 8 Escudos 1838 CUZCO-MS AU Details (Obverse Damage) NGC, Cuzco mint, KM171. An unusual rub in the field beneath the draped flags on the obverse necessitated the Details designation, but still a lovely piece with strong luster and mirroring in the fields, and a golden chroma exhibiting hues of tangerine.
