Bogota, Colombia, cob 2 escudos, late Philip V or Ferdinand VI (1740s), assayer not visible, struck from 1E dies. 6.7 grams. Very strange item with 1E details and diameter but double thickness (which in mainstream numismatics is known as a "piedfort" when intentionally done, probably not the case here), the cross full and bold and the shield typically oversized, with mount mark at bottom, VF+ overall.
