Description

Philip IV gold 2 Escudos 1632 V/H AU58 NGC, Madrid mint, Cf. Cal-type 380 (unlisted date), Cf. Cal-1841 (for 1632 V/H 4 Escudos), Cf. Oro Macuquino-34 (for 1632 V/H 4 Escudos). 6.66gm. While we could already account the existence of the 4 Escudos of 1632 V/H, this is the re-discovery and confirmation of it's fraction: the 1632 V/H 2 Escudos. It possesses a clear, full date with trace evidence of an overdate, common for these issues and backed by the over-assayer. Virtually uncirculated with luminous crevices, this piece shows a fully-rendered shield and cross on top of bold assayer, mint, denomination, and date. An exciting offering and undoubtedly rare, unseen piece of 17th-century numismatics that is sure to interest advanced Cob type collectors and scholars.
