Ferdinand VI gold Cob 8 Escudos 1750 L-R MS64 NGC, Lima mint, KM47, Cal-763, Cay-10860, Onza-573 (Rare), Oro Macuquino-573 (Rare). 27.07gm. An impressive example of this date, presently at the top of the certified population. Bearing a full date over both the obverse and reverse, this piece contains a comparatively small degree of doubling or shifting to the strike, producing a great clarity to the designs that is accentuated by intensive die polish over each side. Though not in Sotheby's March 1993 catalog of the Uruguayan Treasure of the Rio de la Plata (the La Luz shipwreck), the offering likely originated in that wreck, with reportedly only very few examples of this date and denomination having been recovered.
