Charles II gold Cob 2 Escudos 1692-NR AU58 NGC, Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino mint, KM14.1 (Rare), Cal-896, Oro Macuquino-211 (this coin), Restrepo-M66.12. 6.78gm. From the 1715 Plate Fleet. Pedro García as assayer. The very scarce final year from Pedro García's tenure as assayer, and far more challenging than the emissions of his successor, Buenaventura de Arce, from the same year, with no other examples appearing in sales archives from recent years. Though mild microgranularity exists to the surfaces in-line with its time spent underwater as part of the cargo of the 1715 Plate Fleet, overall evidence of circulation is rather limited, producing a wholly covetable selection.
Ex. Ponterio & Associates Auction 106 (April 2000, Lot 624)
