Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1712 MXo-J MS62 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM57.1, Fr-6, Cal-2208 (prev. Cal-104), Cay-9261. 26.76gm. From the 1715 Plate Fleet. The rare "bar end cross" variety with "ears" in the corners of the reverse cross, only seen on issues of 1711-1712. Struck on a broad flan, with much of the reverse design visible and the final two numerals of the date legible upon the obverse; dated examples of this variety are excessively uncommon, and indeed this piece represents the sole such example certified by NGC to date. Unquestionably Mint State, lustrous, and an ideal representative of the type.
Ex. Leu Numismatik Auction 85 (October 2002, Lot 469)
