| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of Ferdinand VI facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed cuirass and elaborate curled periwig, occupying the majority of the coin's field. The effigy is portrayed in a stately Baroque style consistent with Spanish royal portraiture of the mid-18th century. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted at the base by the date 1748 in the exergual area. The legend reads FERDINANDUS VI D G HISP REX, affirming the king's title by divine right. The coin's milled edge is clearly visible on the obverse rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fernando VI's reign produced almost no gold coinage from the American mints during these two years — the 8 escudos issues of 1747–48 came primarily from Madrid and Seville, at a moment when the Spanish crown was actively restructuring its monetary administration following the death of Philip V in 1746. The transition introduced minor but documented inconsistencies in die preparation across mints, and pieces from this transitional window carry varying degrees of planchet roughness as a result.
Cal#30 is among the scarcer early Fernando VI references, with survivors in collectible condition genuinely difficult to locate.
