Philip II 8 Reales 1588-(Aqueduct) MS63 NGC, Segovia mint, Cal-698, Cay-3987. Small date. Of exceptional quality for the type, fielding choice preservation that astounds the viewer at every turn. Rarely are these earlier milled 8 Reales encountered in so fine a technical state, nor with such a high degree of aesthetic appeal, rendering this a special example, and indeed, the tied-finest certified by NGC to date. Displaying needle-sharp detail, illuminated by underlying argent luster and traces of gold tone, this peak-level candidate for any advanced type collection simply cannot be ignored.
