^Lot 1047 Guadalajara, Mexico, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VII (bare laureate head), 1821 FS, dot between F

Guadalajara, Mexico, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VII (bare laureate head), 1821 FS, dot between F and S, rare, NGC AU 58. Cal-1748; KM-161.1. Rich gold color with light red toning over luster, bold bust for the type but top of shield a bit weak, natural flan-bulge behind the head, tiny rim-flaw (as made), minor marks and light high-point wear per the assigned grade, tied with six others in the NGC census for second finest behind a single MS 61, highly desirable one-year type-coin, overall arguably superior to such pedigreed examples as Eliasberg, Gerber, Karon and Norweb. NGC #6448520-002. Pedigreed to the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection (Stack's Bowers auction of January 2021, lot 21070).
