Charles II Posthumous gold Cob 2 Escudos ND (1701-1709) MS65 NGC, Santa Fe (de Nuevo Reino) mint, KM14.2, Cal-Type 243, Restrepo-M66.36. 6.68gm. Struck during the reign of Philip V. Struck to a standard typically unknown for these posthumous Charles II gold Cobs, with none currently matching or exceeding this level at NGC. Despite a somewhat uneven strike on a characteristically crude flan, a great deal of both the central and peripheral detail is preserved, including nearly all of the shield and the beginning of the king's name. Though assigned a wide date range on the holder, we would note that Restrepo records that this shield type was only used on issues dated between 1701 and 1709.
