PERU. Cob 8 Escudos, 1748-L R. Lima Mint. Ferdinand VI. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield.Fr-12; KM-47; Cal-Type-4#11. A decently struck example with minimal doubling. Nice full cross, castles and lions with "FER" of the kings name clear. The last digit of the date "8" seems to have shifted up into the "A" giving the appearance of an "0". An interesting variety with light golden orange tone in the recesses.
