PERU, Lima, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1771 JM, third bust, very rare, NGC AU details / cleaned, "top pop." Cal-1335; KM-72; Fr-31. Bright yellow gold with luster and sharp details despite the cleaning, slightly irregular rims (as made), hybrid bust unique to this mint showing early armor and drapery but older head (note that KM does not distinguish the traditional "rat nose" type from this new third bust, very rare type in any case), one of two in AU details in the NGC census with the only other entry being VF 30.
