Spain
Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1729 S-P AU53 NGC, Seville mint, KM315, Cal-2302, Onza-525. The final year for this design before the adoption of the bust type, most pieces showing characteristically weak obverse features owing to roller die production. Though admitted friction exists to bound the assigned grade, this has notably little impact on the coin's overall appeal, a mildly glassy texture still discernable underlying the fields. The first example of the date we have offered in over 4 years, and a piece which begs in hand inspection to be fully appreciated.
