SPAIN. 10 Escudos, 1867 (68 within Star).
8.36 gms. cf.KM-636.1; cf.Fr-336. Contemporary counterfeit struck in platinum and gold plated. Exceptionally well made for the type. Even the reverse stars display the correct "18" and "68" within them. The gilt has worn from the highest points; there is little doubt the coin circulated undetected for a considerable period of time. An interesting and highly collectible piece, especially given the superior workmanship. VERY FINE
Estimate: $350.00- $500.00
