Description

Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1817 NG-M AU58 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM71, Cal-1752, Onza-1209 (Rare). The final date for this only three-year type, with the majority of known survivors falling far below the condition seen here, even the Eliasberg specimen only certifying at AU55. Though bound in its designation by a scattering of light marks over the surfaces, the piece appears notably glassy for the grade, a feature which heightens on the reverse owing to the plethora of raised features protecting the fields. Close magnification further reveals die polish throughout, clearly pointing to a very careful preparation and striking. A coin which is verifiably rare so fine, and the first occurrence of this selection on the market in over 35 years since its appearance as part of the famed Norweb Collection.
