Another spectacular example of an elusive Young Head 8 Escudos of Carlos III. Frosty and highly lustrous light yellow gold with superb visual appeal. Only some minor scratches behind the portrait separate this piece from a higher Mint State grade. The strike is well centered and crisp on both sides. Unusually fine quality for this date or type. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Don Canaparo, December 1980.
