Ferdinand & Isabella (1474-1504) gold 2 Excelentes ND (from 1497)-S MS62 NGC, Seville mint, Cay-Unl., Cal-736 (prev. Cal-Unl.), ORC-Unl. 6.98gm. +: FERnAnDVS: ЄT (group of 4 pellets) HЄLISABT: DЄI:, crowned facing busts of Ferdinand and Isabella, S (three pellets around) below, pellet between, cross above / :SVB: VnBRA: ALARVm: TVA, crowned royal shield over nimbate eagle. An intriguing subvariety within this extensive and popular series, seemingly unpublished by either Cayon or Tauler Fesser's El Oro de los Reyes Católicos, with a cross potent both at the beginning of the legend and above the busts, as well as very broad truncations; though the most recent edition of Calico lists a cross potent above the busts under Type 175, the pictured coin has a pomegranate initial mark. This is the first such specimen we have encountered, and is of supreme interest to the serious Double Excelente collector.
