Bogota, Colombia, gold cob 2 escudos, Charles II, assayer R to right, king's name in legend on both sides (1676 only?), NGC AU 55. Restrepo-M66.4; S-B21a; KM-14.1; Cal-887. 6.76 grams. Very choice full cross and nearly full shield and crown, the former with clear C of king's name in legend outside a full II-dot-R denomination and assayer, also with clear D.G in legend on reverse, slightly odd-shaped flan with peripheral flatness, contrasting sediment in crevices. This is only the third example we have seen of this variety with king's name on both sides, all from the same dies, one possibly dated 1676. NGC #6442517-013.
