Philip IV gold 8 Escudos ND (1631-1653) S-R UNC Details (Reverse Damage) NGC, Seville mint, KM59.2, Cal-Type 15. 26.76gm. Immensely lustrous and quite attractive for the type, even with its noted reverse damage, this taking the form of a number of shallow gouges, all of which blend quite well into the characteristically irregular surfaces. Thus, the main impression left with the beholder is one of great quality, and the thought that, absent these reverse flaws, this example would surely have graded as one of the finest yet certified for its type.
