PERU. 8 Escudos, 1809-LM JP. Lima Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC AU-55. Fr-44; KM-107; Onza-1211. Imaginary Bust type. Flashy for the grade, this nearly Mint State survivor highlights the crudeness of technique employed by the Lima Mint during this period, as several laminations appear on the obverse side of the planchet and significant doubling of the strike muddles the clarity of the date. Despite those natural imperfection, limited handling is seen, and the reverse, with its light reddish toning accents, remains tremendously appealing.
