Incredibly scarce example of this early Spanish Colonial Escudo from Peru. Fantastic 1776 date, struck while the Revolutionary War proceeded. Escudo gold coins such as this circulated in the American colonies and were legal tender in the U.S. until 1857. Lovely eye appeal for the grade and interesting New World piece rather than the usual Spain escudos.
