8 Escudos Gold Coin – Chile 1750 – NGC AU50 Condition
The 1750 Chilean 8 Escudos represents one of the earliest large-gold issues of South America. Struck in Santiago during a period of frontier expansion, this coin embodies the raw, emerging power of colonial Chile.
Certified AU50 by NGC, it shows strong remaining detail and attractive surfaces, especially for a mid-18th-century gold coin. With .7616 Troy oz of gold, it was a symbol of status in a rugged and developing territory.
Key Features:
-
Early Santiago Mint Gold: Scarcer than Mexican or Peruvian issues of the time.
-
Historic AU Character: Honest wear but significant surviving detail.
-
A Frontier-Era Gold Piece: Chilean gold circulated far less widely than Andean or Mexican issues.
A rare and impressive survivor from colonial Chile.
