Mexico
Philip V gold Cob 4 Escudos 1714 Mo-J MS64 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM55.2, Cal-234. 26mm/13.5g. Borderline as-struck quality with an obscured mintmark due to some double striking, but a sharp assayer in addition to a nearly full 'IIII' denomination to the right of the shield. The inclusion of a full and incredibly bold '4' in the date makes this coin a great rarity among its peers, with most dated examples showing only a partial 4. A coin that is sure to excite the collector that specializes is dated cob issues as a result.
