Philip II gold Cob 2 Escudos 1591/90/89 S-H/D MS61 NGC, Seville mint, cf. Cal-838 (this overdate not listed), Cay-4120 (same), Oro Macuquino-43a (same), ORC-677 (same). 6.76gm. A thoroughly attractive presentation, revealing a slightly muted honey-gold color perhaps owing to past time spent underwater. Nonetheless wholly unhandled, this piece combines the already appealing quality of a full mintmark, assayer, and date with a peculiar triple overdate, which seems to be unpublished in the standard literature.
