| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of King Fernando VI facing right, wearing a period court costume with visible lace cravat and armor, his hair rendered in a flowing curled wig typical of mid-18th century Bourbon portraiture. The effigy occupies the majority of the coin's field and is executed in relatively high relief for a hammered issue. The surrounding legend reads FERDINAND VI D G HISPAN ET IND REX, divided around the periphery, with the date 1760 appearing in the lower exergual area. A beaded border runs along the coin's irregular rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fernando VI's reign saw Lima's mint operating under the older macuquina (cob) tradition for gold even as silver coinage modernized. These milled gold escudos from Lima represent the transition period — the Lima assayer marks from this window shift between J (José de Zárate) and JM depending on the year, and attributing individual pieces to a specific assayer requires careful die study rather than a quick glance at the mintmark.
Fernando died childless in 1759 after a prolonged mental collapse following his wife's death, ending the Borbón line's first Spanish branch and precipitating the accession of his half-brother Carlos III. Lima continued striking in his name into 1760, months after his death.
