Philip II gold Cob 4 Escudos ND (1556-98) S-D (square d) MS63 NGC, Seville mint, 13.49g, Calico-11, Cay-4143. A beautiful, if somewhat weakly struck, cob issue presented here on an appealing broad flan. Although the majority of the legends have been lost of the general roughness of the production of these cobs, the central devices--most particularly in the royal shield on the obverse--remain remarkable crisp and legible, surely a treat for the type. The strike as well remains well-centered on its expansive golden disk, encapsulated a peculiar eye-appeal.
