Philip II gold Cob 4 Escudos 1592 S-B MS64 NGC, Seville mint, Fr-158, Cal-895 (this coin), Oro Macuquino-16. 13.58gm. Conditionally superior for this dated issue, whose digits are fully represented in vertical orientation to the right of the obverse shield. Velveteen luster produces a distinguished "glowing" effect throughout the fields, while sections of precision boldness across the devices instantly confirm the Mint State designation, along with a general lack of any easily discernible handling. The reverse cross is simultaneously attractively centered and delightfully bold, yielding a clear focal point that draws the eye for closer examination and prolonged appreciation. The offering is currently the sole representative of this issue certified by NGC.
