Description
Charles IV gold 8 Escudos 1794 So-DA MS63+ NGC, Santiago mint, KM54, Cal-1759. Fabulously lustrous despite the characteristic strike softness and planchet flaking on the obverse.

Among the over 30 pieces to have earned a numerical grade across both grading services, this specimen stands alone atop the PCGS census and is joined by a single piece at NGC.Metal: Gold
