Category: Seville, Spain gold 2 Escudos
Wire/ACH/Check/Zelle Price
SPAIN, Seville, gold cob 2 escudos, Philip II, 1591/0 date to right, assayer H (punched over previous Gothic D) below mintmark S and denomination II to left. Calico-842; Fr-169. 6.76 grams. Graded by NGC as MS-62, this is a "top pop" specimen (tied with one other for finest in the NGC census). Bold full shield and cross-and-tressure with choice details, the date slightly doubled and very weak but attributable to the rare 1591/0 overdate, small flan peripherally flat with minimal legends, muted luster overall and light orange toning in crevices. The bold assayer H over earlier Gothic D is a distinctive feature unique to this overdate variety. These coins, weighing an average 6.75g (0.217 oz gold), feature a Jerusalem cross obverse and Habsburg shield reverse, symbolizing Spain's empire. Interestingly, no confirmed shipwreck gold 2 escudos dated prior to 1590 have been documented in numismatic records or auctions.
