Philip IV gold Cob 8 Escudos ND (1651-1663) MS62 PCGS, Madrid mint, cf. KM59.2 (for basic type), Cal-5d. 26.77gm. A handsome selection of this bold cob type, typically crudely struck but with a degree of preservation that feels superior to that usually encountered at this grade level, the surfaces lacking any significant marks or other blatant signs of handling. In all, a lustrous and appealing relic of a bygone era of colonization and exploration.
