Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1708 L-H MS63 NGC, Lima mint, KM38.1, Cal-2114, Onza-232, Oro Macuquino-321b. 26.96gm. HISPANI variety. From the 1715 Plate Fleet. Wholly appreciable as a honeyed Choice Mint State example from the perennial favorite 1715 Plate Fleet, ranking at the very peak of the conditional census for the date with two others, none certified finer. In terms of appearance, the example at hand possesses advanced visual character, the boldly embossed surfaces bereft of any instances of handling that could be considered distracting by even the most seasoned and conditionally discriminating collector, punctuated by luxurious and warm patina enlivened by a surprising amount residual luster you'd come to expect from even finer designations.
Ex. Fernandina Collection
