CVC & Collectables presents one of the true “big-ticket” types in Spanish Colonial gold: an 1803 Mexico City 8 Escudos with the classic Charles IV portrait and crowned arms reverse. For collectors who build 8 Escudos date/mint/assayer runs, the Mo / FT pairing is exactly what you want to see on the label—bold, recognizable, and essential to attribution. Coin Highlights: Issuer: Mexico (Spanish Colonial) Denomination: 8 Escudos Date: 1803 Mint / Assayer: Mo / FT Certification: PCGS Genuine – Ex-Jewelry, XF Detail Reference: Calico-1646 PCGS Cert #: 64691170 Obverse: Bust of Charles IV with strong remaining detail for the designation Reverse: Crowned royal arms within ornate chain/collar; 8S flanking the shield; Mo / FT clearly visible Collectibility: Collectors chase these by date mint assayer, and PCGS authentication removes the guesswork. The Ex-Jewelry designation tells the honest story: this coin was once mounted (or shows evidence consistent with mounting), which is exactly why so many surviving 8 Escudos come with a “been there” history. PCGS calls the remaining sharpness XF Detail, giving you a big, impressive gold type with real collector presence. Find more alike here!
