Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1769 LM-JM XF45 NGC, Lima mint, KM73, Cal-909. A better date for this modified bust type of Charles III following the 'rat-nose' portraits from earlier in his reign, a perceivable sharpness residing in the margins and a rosaceous red-gold tone pervading over both sides.
Ex. G.W.K. Roberts Collection (CNG Auction 112, September 2019, Lot 776); Purchased from Sidney Smith in 1995
