Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1701 S-M AU53 NGC, Seville mint, KM259, Cal-2267, Cay-9878. M8S8, flowers at fleece variety. An always popular issue and one we've seen with more regularity of recent, being the third offering of the type this year; a surprising occurrence when considering the coin's rarity. Conditionally challenging with only a single finer noted by NGC, topping out at AU55, making this a highly unusual opportunity to own one of the nicest examples of this variety. In hand, the piece displays a fine pale-gold aura with only gently handled devices displaying a scattering of wear and marks, and as such, surely worthy of a premium.
