Watch List notes:

Modern (late 1800s?) struck-silver copy of a Spanish (Castile and Leon) gold dobla de 10 doblas of Pedro I ("the Cruel"), dated 1398 in Roman numerals. See Cayon-1271. 25.77 grams. Perhaps the greatest numismatic trophy of medieval Spain was the gold dobla de 10 doblas of Pedro I, struck in 1360 AD (1398 by the local calendar at the time) on a thin but immense 2-1/2" flan from gold confiscated from a wealthy Jewish gentleman executed for alleged witchcraft and thievery. The fame of this coin spawned several different copyings over the centuries, in several different metals, this one probably done in the late 1800s at a Spanish art school. XF with toning around details.
