8 Escudos Gold Coin – Bolivia 1790/89 – NGC AU53 Condition
Minted in Potosí, the world’s highest major mint, this overdated 1790/89 8 Escudos captures the dramatic history of Bolivia’s mountain-derived wealth. Potosí gold was struck in far smaller quantities than its legendary silver, making coins like this significantly rarer.
Graded AU53, this example offers sharp detail with light friction, representing an ideal blend of quality and originality. The overdate adds extra desirability for specialists.
Highlights:
-
Potosí Mint Rarity: Much scarcer than Mexican or Peruvian gold.
-
Overdate Variety: A fascinating detail for advanced collectors.
-
AU Eye Appeal: Excellent detail with warm gold surfaces.
A standout colonial gold piece from South America’s most storied mint.
