Ferdinand VI gold Cob 8 Escudos 1748 L-R AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Lima mint, KM47, Cal-758, Grunthal/Sellschopp-162a, Onza-560 (Rare). 26.82gm. A boldly struck date and assayer, with minor doubling that hardly detracts from the clarity evidenced in the devices. The dark crevices suggest possible salvage, which only adds character to this crisp and almost universally off-center Cob. Just the second example of this date we have offered.
