Charles II gold Cob 4 Escudos 1697/6 L-H MS64 NGC, Lima mint, KM25, Cal-92. 13.51gm. Preserved to a conditional state that is anything but the norm for this challenging cob type, the surfaces featuring a graceful texturing that holds bright mint luster at every angle of inspection. The strike is unusually crisp for these often weaker issues, with strong definition traceable across the majority of the central devices and extending even to the peripheral legends, where only two single areas of striking softness are detectable to opposing sides of the obverse and corresponding sections of the reverse. We know of no finer survivors of this date, and NGC has seen only three others , none certified more highly than this captivating specimen.
