Spain
Castile and Leon. Pedro I gold Dobla of 35 Maravedis ND (1350-69)-S MS63 NGC, Seville mint, 4.53g, Cay-1276, MEC VI, 533var (legends). +PЄTRVS: DЄI: GRA: RЄX CASTЄLLЄ: Є LЄGION:, crowned bust of the king left / +PЄTRVS: DЄI: GRA: RЄX: CASTЄLLЄ: Є LЄG:, quartered arms with turrets in the first and fourth quadrants, and lions in the second and third, S in fourth quadrant. An extremely handsome example of the type, the current piece features a lightly rosy hue to the obverse. The strike is remarkably exquisite in execution, being perfectly centered with only the slightest of doubling in the legends. A historically intriguing denomination first issued by Pedro's father Alfonso XI to replace the old Almoravid-inspired morabetinos or maravedis (see previous lot).
