SPAIN. 8 Escudos, 1787-S CM. Seville Mint. Charles III. NGC AU-50.Fr-283; KM-409.2a; Cal-Type-29 # 262. A boldly struck survivor with nice details and plenty of luster in the protected areas, especially the reverse. A minor planchet flaw on the obverse mentioned at about 1 near the rim mentioned for accuracy. Overall a pleasant example certain to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters. The rosettes by the date mark the 1786 debasement from .901 to .875 fine gold.
