Guatemala, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VII, 1817 M, rare, NGC AU 58. KM-71; Cal-1752. Flashy with luster on both sides, the obverse slightly off-center and the reverse with typical central weakness and adjustment marks, also a few minor lamination flaws, but overall quite nice for this in-demand type that was struck in just three years (1808, 1811 and 1817). NGC #6448520-003.
