An important issue for American collectors, this type represents the coinage that was circulating during the Spanish-sponsored expedition made by Christopher Columbus where he discovered the Americas. Because Columbus claimed land in the name of Spanish, it's proper to think of these types as the first coinage of the New World.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
Estimate: $3000 - $5000
