SPAIN. 8 Reales, 1808-M FA. Madrid Mint. Charles IV. NGC MS-65.
KM-432.1; Cal-Type 107#944. A stunning Gem, this final crown issue of Charles IV exhibits intricate detail within the designs and bold, sparkling luster in the fields. Tone, while not expansive over the surfaces, adds a welcomed dose of character, with mostly orange hues encircling the legends. Almost no marks exist, which is hard to fathom. The finest certified for any date of the type, this coin quite likely represents the pinnacle of what is extant. An unmissable offering for the collector seeking the highest echelon, for when coins of this prominence are sold, the next opportunity to acquire them can quite literally be a lifetime away.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
