Philip III gold Cob 2 Escudos 1617 S-D XF45 NGC, Seville mint, Cal-1075, Cay-5003, Oro Macuquino-92 (this coin). 6.69gm. Among the nicer examples of this type to have come to market in recent years, with a carefully positioned strike rendering a full mintmark, assayer's initial, denomination, and date. Presently outranked by a single AU50-graded specimen at NGC, and of great interest to the dated Cob enthusiast.
