Charles II gold 8 Escudos 1699 S-M AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Seville mint, KM233.1, Cal-1060. GRAT in obverse legend variety. An imposing flan, at 37mm, sculpted with the Jerusalem Cross (an inheritance from Cob coinage) and an iconic Spanish shield. The inaugural milled 8 Escudos from the Seville mint and typically seen with flan flaws and off-center or weak strikes, this example presents a decent strike, bearing sharp devices occupied by soft flame toning.
