Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1809 LM-JP AU55 NGC, Lima mint, KM107, Cal-1754. An always popular imaginary bust created in the America's 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! The example offered displays lightly handled devices, a good strike and semi-Prooflike legends with a lovely peach tone.
