CHILE. 8 Escudos, 1751-So J. Santiago Mint. Ferdinand VI. VERY FINE. Fr-5; KM-3. Radiating with a good deal of remaining luster and a razor sharp strike, this example is quite attractive for a ship wreak type. Provided with this is a authentic reproduction of some of the ingots that were found with coin. Weighing in at over 26 ounces of sterling silver and plated in 24k gold, the bar is quite impressive with some of the silver patina beginning to shine through. Accompanied with both items, are certificates that indicate the coin was part of the River Plate Treasure from Karl Hirtzinger and a certificate that gives more background regarding the ingot. From the Liberty Collection.
