CHILE. 8 Escudos, 1789-So DA. Santiago Mint. Charles IV. NGC AU-58. Fr-19; KM-42. First year of issue for this three-year transitional bust type with the bust of Charles III, but in the name of Charles IV (ordinal IV). This gently circulated handsome example displays even wear with signs of handling consistent for the grade. Attractive pale marigold patina is noticed in the legends and protected areas offering a pleasing appearance and much originality. From the Pat Johnson Collection.
