PERU, Lima, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1768 JM, third bust, very rare, NGC AU 53, finest known in NGC census, ex-Almenara. Cal-unl (Type 128); Fr-31; KM-72. Bold strike with choice purplish toning over luster (mostly on reverse), the obverse slightly off-center, hybrid bust unique to this mint showing early armor and drapery but older head, this very rare first date not listed in Calicó (also note that KM does not distinguish the traditional "rat nose" type from this new third bust). Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label).
