Madrid, Spain, gold bust 1/2 escudo, Ferdinand VI, 1746 AJ, NGC MS 63, finest known in NGC census. Cal-545; KM-372. Rich gold color with nice luster and fairly bold strike except for slight weakness in shield due to the relief of the bust, just a few faint marks but no wear, scarce first date of type and the better of just two in the current NGC census (the other just VF). NGC #6445270-005.
