Spain
Philip II (1556-1598) gold Cob 4 Escudos ND S-D AU53 NGC, Seville mint, Cal-11, Cay-4143. 13.37gm. A beautiful and lustrous gold issue struck with a pleasing degree of uniformity across the shield, with only a gradual softness toward the lower right area. The strike is well-placed, with the reverse cross to be found almost squarely in the middle of the planchet. Very gently toned, with just a hint of honeyed color found in localized areas along the periphery.
