Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1723 S-J MS62 NGC, Seville mint, KM315, Cal-2296, Cay-9980. A top-graded specimen out of a mere 5 yet certified by NGC, this piece contains a highly refined appearance for the type, with die polish embracing the marginal features as cartwheel luster proceeds unimpeded across the surfaces. Especially prominent evidence of die clashing is to be found within the tressures of the reverse cross, where even the outlines of the castles and lions from the obverse arms can be made out with little difficulty.
