Augustin I Iturbide gold 8 Escudos 1823 Mo-JM XF40 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM314, Fr-60, Onza-1779 (Rare). A remarkably charming representative of this final 8 Escudos of the First Mexican Empire for the assigned grade, light even rub evident in-line with the designation, though keeping from blending the principal features of the design together. A clear border of residual luster continues to grace the margins over both sides, creating a strong framing effect that greatly accentuates the coin's visual allure.
Ex. Eliasberg Collection (American Numismatic Rarities April 2005, Lot 3252); John H. Clapp Estate to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. (1942)
