SPAIN. 8 Escudos, 1701-S M. Seville Mint. Philip V. NGC AU-53.
Fr-247; KM-260; Cal-2267. Type with "S M 8 S" in spandrels and flowers around Golden Fleece. The first year of issue for the type, this example features the mintmark, assayer, and abbreviated denomination within the reverse spandrels. Lightly handled and yet still rather enticing and wholly original. Fairly RARE and compelling as such.
From the David Sterling Collection.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
