Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1788 NR-JJ MS63 NGC, Nuevo Reino mint, KM50.1, Cal-2124, Onza-895, Restrepo-72.36. A standout selection for this type that is rarely encountered in Mint State preservation, a fact confirmed by the presence of only 6 total pieces so graded across NGC and PCGS combined. Though produced from somewhat worn dies, this has left a micro-stippled texture to the fields, producing an exceptionally velveteen finish that acts as an ideal canvass for the coin's ample luster.
