Mexico
Charles II gold Cob 4 Escudos ND (1680-1694) MXo-L AU50 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM54, Cal-Type 163. 13.54gm. Exceedingly scarce in any grade, let alone approaching Mint State preservation, the mellow-gold flan laying host to pervasive russet and rose tones to what detail remains unobscured. While details that may hint at a particular date remain hidden, the piece is largely identifiable due to the prominent jeweled cross adorning the reverse, a notable feature of Mexico City issues of this vintage. Despite mild flan fissures, the piece at hand is a surprising survivor and should be of particular interest to Spanish colonial type collectors.
