Bolivia
Republic gold 8 Scudos 1853 PTS-FP AU Details (Scratches) NGC, Potosi mint, KM116. Boldly rendered upon an imperfect pale-gold planchet, emitting similar characteristics found on even the most well-preserved examples of this iconic type, but relegated primarily to the reverse. Despite the noted scratches, the regal laureate bust of Bolivar is unobstructed and framed by a legend imbued with traces of original mint luster, lending to the overall charm embodied by the piece at hand.
