PERU, Lima, gold cob 1 escudo, 1712/1/0 M, very rare, NGC MS 66 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest and only example in NGC census, ex-1715 Fleet, ex-Ubilla-Echevez, ex-Almenara. S-L28; Cal-1668; Fr-10; KM-unl (35 for type). 3.24 grams. Bold and perfectly centered castle side with clear 2/1 overdate but the 1/0 less obvious (die-match with a 1711/0 in the State of Florida Collection, coin number 1678, which is curiously NOT the same 1711/0 die as for the previous lot), the off-center cross also full but slightly crude, both sides struck from rusty dies, lustrous and rich gold in color. From the 1715 Fleet, with photo-certificate, pedigreed to the Real Eight Co. consignment sold as the Ubilla-Echevez Collection (stated on label) in the Christensen auction of October 1964 (lot 163), and pedigreed to the Almenara Collection, also plated in Frank Allen's 1967 The Numismatist article "Previously Unknown Spanish Gold Coins."
