Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1744 Mo-MF AU55 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM148, Cal-2249, Onza-442 (Rare). A simply gratifying representative of this coveted bust type, showcasing a decidedly crisp rendering of Philip V and crowned arms, bathed in a mellow golden aura obscuring only trivial instances of handling, precluding this appreciable example from finer designations. Rarely located in Mint State designations, collectors will certainly appreciate the numerous superior qualities of the piece at hand.
