Charles III 8 Reales 1774 PTS-JR MS64+ PCGS, Potosi mint, KM55, Cal-1170. An extraordinary example of this Potosi-minted issue on the precipice of Gem Mint State, both possessing impeccable quality but also an advanced aesthetic caliber. The lightly frosted and lavishly struck portrait of Charles III centers meticulously engraved legends atop an argent planchet imbued with full, watery appearances, the reverse with its trademark crowned arms lit aglow by amble mint brilliance, illuminating tones of amber- and cobalt-touched peripheries at the turn of the wrist.
