Lot 356 | Spanish Monarchy

Lot description

Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). 8 escudos. 1817/8. Santiago. FJ. (Cal-1877). (Cal onza-Unlisted). Au. 27,11 g. Bust of Charles IV. Minimal superficial hairlines, otherwise lovely specimen retaining full original luster and sharply struck with all details well defined. Rare, especially in this condition.. Some dies dated 1818 were prepared by the Republicans before they had completed the engraving of the Republican 2-flags type, but those were eventually dismissed as unacceptable (since they would be proof of an independent republic issuing colonial coinage) and repunched with the 1817 date. This fact accounts for the apparently puzzling 1817/8 specimens extant, which were struck in early 1818. Almost MS. Est...5000,00.
