Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1811 So-FJ AU58 PCGS, Santiago mint, KM72, Fr-28, Cal-1865. Imagined military bust type. Pleasingly bold, even for this often better-struck military bust type, the surfaces overlaid with a pervasive antique-gold patina against which grapefruit coloration contrasts alluringly in the legends. Only the barest trace of wear is noted overall, while the reverse remains impressively lustrous and downright watery, making for a desirable selection of this geographically unique issue.
