Republic gold 8 Escudos 1850 QUITO-GJ AU55 PCGS, Quito mint, KM34.1, Fr-8, Onza-1771 (Rare). Among the more easily locatable representatives of this immensely popular Quito-minted type, yet still wonderful in its appearances and conservation. Deep honeyed fields envelop the piece at hand, relaying practically semi-Prooflike reflectivity that serves to support gently frosted central devices. Bound in its assigned grade by a scattering of surface friction most notable to the sitter's hair, yet the reverse faces up especially fine and is essentially unimpacted by exchange. Certain to entice the conditionally conscious collector of this fleeting series, and with only two currently certified more highly, is worthy of additional attention.
