Aragon. Juan II gold Escudo ND (1453-1464) AU58 NGC, Zaragoza mint, Fr-29a (under Catalonia), Cay-1797 var. (reverse legend), MEC VI-238 var. (different obverse). 3.48gm. IOΛNNES: DEI: GRΛCIΛ: CΛR (double annulet stops), Juan, crowned, facing, trident in right hand, fish above C over his left shoulder / REX: ΛRΛGONVM: N: S: V (double annulet stops), crowned shield. Struck in Aragon for use in Catalonia. A rather rare and elusive type, of which we have offered only a single specimen previously. While this piece has clearly encountered only a modicum of light wear in the past, most clearly on the obverse, trace die polish can still be found on the reverse, with the whole of the coin still pervaded by subtle luster. One of just a small handful we have been able to locate becoming available in recent years.
