Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1712M, from the 1715 Fleet, encapsulated NGC MS 61. S-L28; KM-38.2; CT-23. Choice strike with bold full pillars-and-waves and cross-lions-castles (very three-dimensional), completely free of wear (rather conservatively graded by NGC in our opinion) and clearly one of the first coins to come off these dies, with a trace of the second date in 3 digits in the legend, which ends on the other side with HISPANIA (Tauler #243), just some minor staining from the sea. From the 1715 Fleet, as stated inside the slab.
