Republic gold 8 Escudos 1841 So-IJ MS61+ NGC, Santiago mint, KM104.1, Fr-41. A demonstrably superior representative of this conditionally challenging issue, featuring flashy copper-gold brilliance across fields that produce full cartwheel effects when rotated in hand. Sharp legends frame the central motifs, which are surrounded by only mild contact friction that caps the assigned, highly impressive grade. Just a "half point" shy of the finest certified to date - a single MS62 at NGC.
