Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1726 S-J AU55 NGC, Seville mint, KM315, Cal-2298, Cay-9992, Chaves-707, Onza-521 (Rare). A seldom-offered date with very few survivors available to collectors, considering the mere half dozen examples that we have been able to locate surfacing on the market in recent decades--virtually all containing prominently off-center strikes. Pale gold and bearing deeply engraved devices and only trivial instances of handling, this captivating Seville-type stands among the finest, with only a single occupier finer, designated AU58 by NGC and none whatsoever in the PCGS census.
