PERU. 8 Escudos, 1762-LM JM. Lima Mint. Charles III. NGC AU-53.
KM-68; Onza-674 ("muy rara"). Two-year type. Entirely wholesome quality, displaying a bold strike on a sound planchet, with sparkling gleam around the outer legends that confirms this piece saw only limited circulation. Despite a number of examples existing in higher certified grades, few can claim they have no noteworthy planchet adjustment marks or flaws. As one of a small handful that can make that claim, this example deserves recognition alongside the finest extant of the type.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
Estimate: $3500.00- $5500.00
