Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1817/8 So-FJ MS64 NGC, Santiago mint, KM78, Cal-1877, Onza-Unl. An absolutely choice conditional survivor that exudes lustrous depth and charming brilliance at every turn. Slight irregularities and planchet flaws are noted, these wholly original to the coin's production and adding considerable character to the piece. Some dies dated 1818 were prepared by the Republicans before they had completed the engraving of the Republican 2-flags type, but those were eventually dismissed as unacceptable (since they would be proof of an independent republic issuing colonial coinage) and repunched with the 1817 date. This fact accounts for the apparently puzzling 1817/8 specimens extant, which were struck in early 1818.
