Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1788 So-DA MS61 NGC, Santiago mint, KM27, Cal-2177. An always popular date-mint combination for this bust-type 8 Escudos, especially so in Mint State levels of preservation. Despite a touch of striking weakness seen in the central devices as is typically encountered with the issue, the piece at hand displays prominent luster shimmering through the peripheries, more so to the reverse that remains essentially unimpacted by exchange.
