PERU. Cob 8 Escudos, 1699-L R. Lima Mint. Charles II. NGC MS-62.
26.96 gms. Fr-1; KM-26.1. "P.V.A." variety. Great detail remains on this large gold denomination, showing no degree of handling all while offering tremendous luster. The three digits of the date are bold, with only some striking weakness noted on the left column and a small portion of the coat-of-arms. Immensely pleasing and majestic, and fairly RARE and difficult as well.
Ex: "1715 Fleet" shipwreck, sunk off the coast of Vero Beach, Florida.
Estimate: $16000.00- $20000.00
