SPAIN. Contemporary Counterfeit 8 Escudos, 1786-DV. Madrid Mint. Charles III. EXTREMELY FINE.
cf. Fr-282 (for prototype); cf. KM-409.1a (same). A great imitative issue, this example still retains a good deal of brilliance and exhibits some light wear upon the high points. An interesting piece that clearly served its spurious purpose.
Estimate: $1800.00- $2400.00
