Shield Type
Mexico City, Mexico, cob 2 reales Royal (galano), 1615/4F, unique, ex-Rudman.S-M17; KM-unl; Cal-unl.6.33 grams.Extremely broad and thin flan (1-1/4") extending beyond the outer borders, with typically complete and well-struck design in medallic alignment, also attractively toned and no worse than XF for wear, four holes at the ends of the cross. Best we can tell, this piece is unique (unlisted in Calico), and like the 8R Royal 1615 in this same auction (lot 490), the dies are re-engraved from 1614, with obvious 5/4 overdate. Curiously, this 2R also has the king's name misspelled as PHILLIPPVS (two L's) and shows HIPANIARVN (missing the S, and N for M at end) in cross-side legend.Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman numismatic cabinet.
Estimate: 3000-4500 USD
