1800-Mo FM Mexico Gold 8 Escudos Carlos IIII XF
This gold 8 Escudos, minted in Mexico City in the year 1800, presents an intriguing historical puzzle for those who study classic coinage. Struck in 0.875 fine gold, the coin contains 0.7614 troy ounces of precious metal. It represents a fascinating era of Spanish colonial minting in the Americas, preserved in Extra Fine condition. The design of this piece features a compelling contradiction. While issued during the reign of King Carlos IIII, the obverse displays the armored bust of Fernando VII facing right. The reverse of the coin showcases the crowned Hapsburg coat of arms, elegantly encircled by the collar of the prestigious Order of the Golden Fleece.
