Watch List notes:

Segovia, Spain, gold milled 4 escudos, Charles II, 1687/3 BR, very rare. Cal-951; KM-unl (185.2 for type). 13.48 grams. The milled gold coins of the Segovia mint are all special coins, typically made to order in just certain dates, and in the case of Charles II 4 escudos we only know of the dates 1683 and 1687 (hence KM listings for 1686 and 1687/6 are probably in error). Also we note that references say this issue lacks a Portuguese escutcheon, but it is there, just faintly hidden by the rest of the details in the upper half of the shield. This beautiful coin exhibits a typically choice strike on a broad flan (beyond the design) with smooth fields, muted luster and very light toning, well preserved save for a few light marks and light filing on top edge, a very rare and popular type. Pedigreed to the Conde de Lacambra Collection and the Golf Collection, also pedigreed to the Aureo auction of March 2019 (lot 214), purchased from Xavier Calico by private treaty in 1970.
