Bogotá, Colombia, cob 2 escudos, Charles II, 166?R. S-B21a. 6.8 grams. Clear 16 of date followed by what looks like the bottom of a 5, but obverse legend begins with a clear C for CAROLVS, making it post-1665, a scarce period that does not have any known gold-cob wrecks associated with it. Full and choice cross with lots of contrasting encrustation in the crevices (AU grade), the shield also nearly full and well-detailed, with most of crown and peripheral detail. From an unidentified wreck or hoard.
