Description
Finest Certified "Large Rosettes" 1715 8 Escudos - Perhaps Only the Second Known Example
Philip V gold "Royal" 8 Escudos 1715 Mo-J MS63 NGC, Mexico
City mint, KM-R57.3 (Rare), Fr-7, Cay-9950, Cal-92, Onza-401 (one
known), cf. Sedwick-M30. 27.00gm. Variety with large rosettes in
the reverse legend. By José Eustaquio de León. An enormously
popular date in the series, not least for its strong ties to the
famed 1715 Plate Fleet, with even the by comparison more common cob
8 Escudos from this year bringing marked premiums. For this
historic association, however, this specimen bears no evidence
whatsoever of any time spent underwater, the strike fresh and
gleaming with perhaps only the most minor evidence of die rust or
stippling in the center of the royal Spanish shield. Moreover
executed to a standard and level of craftsmanship that is plainly
only imaginable within this redondo series, hardly a flaw
existing anywhere to bound its glorious choice grade--currently the
finest for this subvariety. While surrounding dates for this
coinage are known to exist in finer technical states, this becomes
almost a moot point when considering the rarity of the particular
selection presented here--Calico recording only one example of this
"large rosettes" variety known in his book La Onza as of
2004 (from different dies), while the date itself was entirely
missing from the Norweb, Karon, and Millennia collections. As such
quite possibly only the second known example, and a numismatic
centerpiece of the entire Mexican colonial series worthy of the
utmost place of prominence in its future owner's cabinet.Ex. Isaac Rudman Collection
