PERU. 8 Escudos, 1759-LM JM. Lima Mint. Ferdinand VI. NGC AU-58.
KM-59.2; Onza-590. A premium example of the type, this coin display almost imperceptible wisps of friction atop the raised designs, while the fields retain delightful brilliance and a hint of character-adding orange tone. As is common for Peruvian gold of this period, a few planchet imperfections are present, most notable among them being a small lamination in Ferdinand VII's hair. Extremely elusive and virtually never seen in finer quality, with only two examples reaching the Mint State tier between NGC and PCGS.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
