I see a bow tie on top, so yes, it is a Large 8, IMHO.

Sometimes, if you click on the OP's photo(s) it will pop-up an enlarge photo, if the OP recently uploaded the pic to the CCF site.

It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.
More pics can't change that.
Your coin has a bow tie atop the crown, by definition that makes it a large 8.
Don't look at the pic's of 8's in Charlton's, they're confused.
