Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1779 NR-JJ MS62 NGC, Nuevo Reino mint, KM50.1, Cal-2108, Onza-878. Of scarce quality for the issue, this well above-average survivor exudes pure lemon-gold color and lustrous brilliance that leaps across the obverse legends, with only light, evenly dispersed friction tempering the effect in the central regions. A single MS64 certifies finer in NGC's census - a testament to the difficulty of procuring choice examples of the type.
