Guatemala
Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1778 NG-P AU Details (Cleaned) PCGS, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM40, Fr-10, Onza-669. Large Date variety. A rare date, and one of only a few seen by the grading services, none of these in Mint State condition. Admitting some circulation rub and subsequent cleaning, the strike remains clear, with no significant areas of weakness visible throughout either the obverse or reverse designs. A hint of amber tone adds an element of visual character to this indisputable Latin American rarity.
