Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1809 LM-JP AU58 NGC, Lima mint, KM107, Cal-1754. An impressive survivor of this popular imaginary bust created in the Americas due to the French invasion of Spain, which led to delays in shipping of proper dies from Europe. Known as the "Inca bust" due to its resemblance with the Peruvian native Americans, it's also speculated by some to be an indigenous representation of Napoleon! Displaying a near flawless strike that resulted in chiseled devices upon highly reflective fields, it is a piece for the most discerning coin cabinets.
