| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of King Carlos III facing right, rendered in the classical portrait style of the colonial milled coinage. The effigy shows the king in military cuirass with draped mantle, his hair styled in a short queue. The circular legend surrounds the portrait, with the date 1761 appearing in the lower field beneath the bust. The design follows the standard 'bust type' introduced for Spanish colonial gold coinage in the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carlos III inherited the Spanish throne in 1759 after his half-brother Ferdinand VI died without an heir, bringing him from Naples where he had ruled for over two decades. The Mexico City Mint was by 1761 the single most productive gold mint in the Spanish empire, and the 8 escudos denomination — the "onza de oro" — was the standard unit of international gold settlement from Manila to Cádiz. These cob-style milled pieces circulated in financial networks far beyond Spanish colonial borders, appearing routinely in British, Dutch, and Chinese trade accounts.
