Description

1783 PTS PR Bolivia Charles III Gold 8 Escudos NGC MS61.
For centuries Spanish Gold coinage was famous throughout the world as the standard by which other coinages were measured, due to its consistent weight and purity. In addition to its stability, Spanish coinage was abundant but was also produced by Spain's colonial countries.
Mining in Bolivia has been a dominant feature of the Bolivian economy as well as Bolivian politics since 1557. Colonial era silver mining in Bolivia, particularly in Potosí, played a critical role in the Spanish Empire and the global economy.
Full in both its quality and the impact of its impression, this pale-gold 8 Escudos features a sensitively rendered portrait of Charles III and semi-Prooflike fields. Despite planchet imperfections and mild wisps, NGC notes this example as the finest in its population report from this scarce assayer.
