Bogota, Colombia, cob 2 escudos, posthumous Charles II, assayer ARCE in legend, from the 1715 Fleet, ex-Roy Volker. S-B24; KM-14.2. 6.70 grams. Lustrous Mint State with slightly crude edge (as made), full and choice cross and shield, but most interesting feature is the clear ARCE in the legend to the left of the cross, after the word REX and before a 17(??) date, also desirable pedigree. From the 1715 Fleet, housed in its original cardboard holder that says "Roy's first" in reference to noted salvager Roy Volker.
