MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1733-MoF. Philip V (1700-46). NGC AU-55.Fr-8; KM-148; Cal-Type 27#123. An important early date, produced during the period Mexico City was transitioning from hammered to milled coinage. This example displays a good strike and strong luster remaining at the peripheries and between devices. Rich and delightful dark orange toning appears in abundance and in synonymous with many of the Eliasberg coins. A light scratch through the date is the only blemish of note. <strong>RARE</strong> with the added appeal of a famous pedigree.NGC AU-55.
