SPAIN. 2 Escudos, 1801-S CN. Seville Mint. Charles IV. NGC MS-64.
Fr-297; KM-435.2; Cal-Type 154#1437. This amazing near-Gem possesses a complete strike with frosty luster that illuminates the orange-toned surfaces. A near-complete absence of marks helps to further justify the grade, and perhaps makes a case for this piece being a bit conservatively graded. As it is however, the single finest graded for the date, and considering the majestic quality, and coin that is almost certainly the finest extant.
From the Avrabanel Collecion.
