Charles & Johanna (1516-1556) gold Escudo ND (from 1543) S-(star) AU58 NGC, Seville mint, Cal-196, Cay-3146, Oro Macuquino-24c. 3.40gm. Variety with KAROLVS spelling and reverse legend ending SICILI. Fully struck from rusty dies, though admitting only minimal evidence of rub on the whole. Far more carefully produced that are many similar issues of this period, which frequently show off-center strikes plagued by die breaks and doubling.
