PERU. Cob 2 Escudos, 1698-C M. Cuzco Mint. Charles II. PCGS MS-64.
Fr-4; KM-28; Cal-855. Weight: 6.69 gms. An incredible grade for this crudely produced minor, this present piece--on the cusp of Gem status--offers golden yellow brilliance and a rather sharp strike on its oddly shaped and somewhat compact flan. A die shift is observed, more noticeable on the date side, but does not interfere with the remaining details.
Estimate: $7000 - $10000
