PERU, Cuzco, gold cob 1 escudo, 1698 M, extremely rare, NGC AU 58 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-CZ1; KM-A27; Cal-811; Fr-6. 3.36 grams. Excellent full cross, slightly doubled obverse with 100% full castle, mintmark, assayer, and three-digit date, hence among the best known of the six or so known to exist (in fact second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 62), clearly far rarer than the 2 escudos (the only other denomination struck at this mint) and missing in many important collections. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, sunk off the east coast of Florida
