1779/8-So DA Chile, Gold 8 Escudos PCGS MS-63 Calico-2158

The 1779/8-So DA Chile Gold 8 Escudos, Calico-2158, stands as a remarkable overdate from the Santiago Mint under Charles III. Struck in .917 fine gold at 27 grams, it features a laureate bust right with “CAROLUS III” legend on the obverse, while the reverse displays crowned arms within the Order of the Golden Fleece collar, dated “1779” over an “8.” The DA assayer mark denotes Diego de la Peña y Ahedo.

PCGS reports a mintage of 44,000 pieces, yet survival remains exceptionally low. This coin is the sole example graded by PCGS at MS-63, reflecting sharp details, radiant luster, and minimal contact marks—qualities rarely preserved in colonial gold after centuries of circulation and handling.

Its singular status and aesthetic appeal make it a cornerstone for advanced collectors of Spanish colonial coinage, embodying the final decade of Chile’s early gold issues before the independence era transformed the region’s monetary history.
