Guatemala
Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1778 NG-P AU53 PCGS, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM40, Fr-10, Onza-669. A lustrous and near-uncirculated representative of this very rare date, this selection showing moderate weakness in localized areas, not atypical for the issue, this balanced by the generally superior surface preservation displayed throughout. Currently the finest of only two examples of the issue seen by PCGS, with NGC similarly having certified none in uncirculated condition. Thus a prime opportunity for the rarity seeking collector of the Latin American series, and an item of great importance in both Guatemalan and, more broadly, Spanish colonial numismatics.
