8 Escudo    (sold for $4600.0)

Bolivia. 8 Escudos, 1797 PTS-PP (Potosi). Fr-14; KM-81. 26.96 grams. Charles IV, 1788-1808. Draped and cuirassed bust of Charles IV. Reverse: Crowned arms, Order of Golden Fleece around. Bold strike, with proof-like fields on obverse. Light contact marks, mainly confined to right obverse field, plus a lint mark on the bust, otherwise very lustrous and choice. Rare in this grade. NGC graded MS-62. Charles was a terrible king. Very physically strong, he loved wrestling, and would find the strongest countrymen available to compete against. He loved hunting as well, but that was about all he craved. He had no interest in affairs of state, and left this to his ministers. Probably his wisest decision was his abdication in 1808. Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. Ex Millennia, Lot 944. Categories:
