8 Escudos Gold Coin – Mexico 1809 – NGC AU58 Condition

Minted in 1809 as revolution simmered across the Americas, the Mexican 8 Escudos stood as the peak of colonial wealth—a large, impressive gold coin reserved for the elite. Struck in Mexico City, it carried nearly an ounce of pure gold (.7616 Troy oz AGW).

This AU58 example is exceptionally well-preserved, retaining sharp detail and glowing luster. Only the lightest friction separates it from full Mint State, making it a premium piece for advanced collectors.

Why Collectors Prize This Coin:

• The Mexican “Doubloon”: A legendary denomination tied to ships, soldiers, and empire.

• AU58 Quality: Nearly Mint State with outstanding presence.

A commanding gold coin from a turning point in Mexico’s history.
