PERU, Lima, gold cob 1 escudo, 1738/7/6 N, very rare, NGC AU 58, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Boyd, ex-Almenara. S-L29; Cal-unl (Type 197); Fr-10; KM-unl (35 for type). 3.46 grams. Rich gold color, choice full cross and bold full castle-side details including date with clear 8/7, the weaker first under-digit 6 determined by die-match with known 1737/6's (see Sedwick Auction 24 lot 56, and also see Auction 30 lot 52 for another 1738/7/6), probably the case for all known 1738's (including an NGC example in MS 61 labeled without overdate). Pedigreed to the F.C.C. Boyd Collection (Superior auction of August 1975, lot 2705) and to the Almenara Collection (both stated on label), also to the Christensen auction of December 1981 (lot 798).
