Charles II gold Cob Escudo 1683/0 AU55 NGC, Seville mint, KM-Unl., Cal-Unl. A true numismatic enigma! Presumed unique, this overdate variety from Seville exhibits a full date clearly showing the error, boldly detailed for the type despite its crude striking. The flan has a crack at about 12 o'clock, obviously a metal flaw and not subsequent damage to the coin; otherwise, a visually pleasing and charismatic piece. A once-in-a-generation opportunity for the collector of the Spanish Cob series to obtain this extremely rare early gold offering.
