Philip V gold Cob 4 Escudos 1715 Mo-J AU58 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM55.2, Cal-235. 24mm/13.3g. Technically Mint State quality, but slightly granular from prolonged saltwater exposure, with a clear mintmark, but most importantly, a highly legible date, with '715' appearing in full between 9 and 10 o'clock along the edges. Much rarer than the 1714 date due the number of examples that were recovered from the 1715 Plate Fleet shipwreck; certain to be intensely sought by the specialist collector as a result.
Ex. 1715 Plate Fleet
Selections from the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet

Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
