Watch List notes:

SPAIN, Reino de España. Felipe III el Piadoso (?), 1598-1621. 2 Escudos (Gold, 19 mm, 6.75 g), uncertain mint. Crowned coat-of-arms. Rev. Coat-of-arms within polylobe. Areas of weakness, otherwise, very fine.


From a Swiss collection of ancient, medieval and modern gold coins, ex Hess-Divo 321, 25-26 October 2012, 1574 and Künker 207, 15 March 2012, 6501.

The attribution to Felipe III is tentative, as the coin may also date to the reign of Felipe IV (1621-1665).
