FERDINAND VII (1808-1833). 8 Escudos. (Au. 26.98g/37mm). 1809. Lima JP. indigenous bust. (Cal-2019-1754). Extremely Fine. Remains of original shine. Sheet on reverse, still a nice copy. José MarÃa Fernández de Soto is the engraver of this exclusive bust of the Lima mint and which appeared on the obverses of its coins between 1808 and 1811, the date on which the official busts of Felix Sagau arrived from the peninsula. The Lima, indigenous or Inca bust was an urgent request to the engraver who apparently did not take into account the reales features of the monarch, since this portrait bears no resemblance to him. The specimens from 1808 and 1809 correspond to a first type that have the peculiarity of presenting a slightly larger bust than that of the last two years. Another difference between both types is that in the first types the name of the monarch is abbreviated as FERDND while in the second we find it as FERDIN.
