Ferdinand VI gold Cob 8 Escudos 1750 L-R AU55 NGC, Lima mint, KM47, Cal-763, Cay-10860, Grunthal/Sellschopp-162c, Onza-573 (Rare), Oro Macuquino-573 (Rare). 27.00gm. The last year of Peruvian gold Cobs, double-dated and well centered, with slight doubling that does not interfere with the clarity of the devices. Though not in Sotheby's March 1993 catalog of the Uruguayan Treasure of the Rio de la Plata (the La Luz shipwreck), the dark crevices suggest it likely came from the wreck, with reportedly very few examples of this date and denomination recovered.
