Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1824 Co-G AU55 NGC, Cuzco mint, KM129.2, Cal-1745 (prev. Cal-4). A single-year type from the Cuzco mint and one that is seldom seen in such fine levels of preservation, with most witnessed in XF or lesser conditions. Highly lustrous and richly patinated, dressed in marigold and mulberry tones, the piece displays fairly trivial instances of handling, most notable to Ferdinand's laurel crown, and minor quality control issues with the flan, all typical of these elusive and large emissions. A scarce opportunity to own such a fine example from the famed Cuzco mint.
