COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold cob 1 escudo, Charles II posthumous, no assayer (Arce), NGC MS 65 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest known in NGC census. Restrepo-M64.16; S-B24; KM-13; Cal-Type 210 (under Ph. V); Fr-5a. Superb full cross and upper half of shield (as that is all that could fit on such a small flan), featuring transposed castles and lions, the latter sitting on their posteriors per issues after 1705. Only three visible dates have been seen on this type of 1E—1708 (with dots in tressure-dimple ringlets), 1710 (with castles and lions in proper quadrants), and 1713 (no dots in Naples-Sicily, transposed castles and lions)—and if we assume those are the only dates in which 1E were made, this coin must logically be from 1713. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, sunk off the east coast of Florida
