Spanish Netherlands
Gelderland. Philip II of Spain gold Real d'or ND (1555-76) MS61 NGC, Fr-75, Delm-626. Variety featuring the title ANG REX, in reference to the king's recent and short-lived marriage to Mary I of England. Bright and lustrous, the light handling present seemingly blending into the surfaces as if they were struck as such. Scarce in Mint State, and highly desirable thus.
