Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1708 L-H MS62 NGC, Lima mint, KM38.1, Onza-231. Doubly struck but on a roundish and impressively large flan thus quite attractive and desirable. The surfaces show typical dull toning of salvaged pieces but are remarkably clean and free of handling marks. A romantic and ever popular issue, conditionally rare in this charming unflawed preservation.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
