8 Escudos Gold Coin – Peru 1757 – NGC XF45 Condition
This 1757 Lima-Mint 8 Escudos hails from the early Bourbon period, when Peru’s gold and silver output was the envy of Europe. These large gold coins were prized throughout the empire for their purity and consistent weight.
With an XF45 grade, the coin retains strong devices with moderate circulation, giving it charm and authenticity. Mid-18th-century Peruvian gold is significantly scarcer in high preservation.
Why This Coin Matters:
-
Classic Lima Gold: Revered for its craftsmanship and fineness.
-
Historic Circulation Appeal: A true working piece of colonial wealth.
-
Scarce Early Date: Pre-1760 issues are particularly desirable.
A beautiful and historically rich example of early Peruvian gold.
