Mexico
Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1733 Mo-F AU55 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM148 (Rare), Cal-2229, Onza-422. A very scarce issue, notably considered as Rare in the Standard Catalog of World Coins. Though typically soft at the higher points, an otherwise firm strike is confirmed by the razor-sharpness of the legends and the depth of the devices overall, clearly contoured and embellished by shimmering golden luster that pervades throughout. A firmly near-Mint State example of this impressive treasure of Latin American numismatics.
