Description

Ferdinand & Isabella (1474-1516) gold 2 Excelentes ND (1476-1504)-T MS63+ PCGS Toledo mint, Cal-98. 7.02gm. A captivating selection of this highly historical type featuring the joint busts of the so-called "Catholic Monarchs". The overall presentation that results from the skilled engraving of this particular example is exceptional, with both Ferdinand and Isabella's features expressed to near-lifelike quality, the strike well-placed, and the central features surrounded by sharp legends. Though the issues of Toledo seem to generally be of a finer style than those produced in Seville, this selection simply exudes a particularly inspiring beauty that would be difficult to exceed.
