Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1760/9 So-J MS61 NGC, Santiago mint, KM13, Fr-8. A very scarce posthumous date with the clearly visible remnants of a "9" beneath the final digit of the date. Some references list this overdate as "1760/59", which would appear to be the same die variety. In any case, the present example is far beyond the pale for the issue, with most specimens displaying at least some light wear; it comes as no surprise that this is the sole example certified in Mint State by NGC. Boldly defined devices, with bright luster and a touch of coppery tone.
