Philip IV gold Cob 2 Escudos 1664 NR-R AU53 NGC, Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino mint, KM4.1 (Rare), Cal-Unl., cf. Restrepo-M50.25 (this date unlisted), Oro Macuquino-Unl., ORC-Unl. 6.79gm. By all indications a largely unpublished date within this series, and seemingly the latest recorded 2 Escudos of Philip's reign from Nuevo Reino, although the Standard Catalog supposedly reports a 1665. Absent from such major collections as Norweb, Lasser, and Eldorado, we are aware of only one other specimen possibly from this same date--Heritage Auction #3006, September 2009, Lot 20696--although this is likely the only clearly dated survivor available to commerce. Undoubtedly of the utmost importance to Colombian collectors, and an offering worthy of the closest bidder attention.
Ex. Stack's International Numismatic Sale (January 2004, Lot 223)
