PERU, Lima, gold cob 2 escudos, 1748 R, very rare, NGC MS 65, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Caballero, ex-Almenara. S-L31; Cal-637; Fr-14; KM-46. 6.67 grams. Lustrous and very deeply struck with sharp details that lack any flattening or wear at all (hence the grade, far beyond any Ferdinand VI cob 2 escudos on record), the choice full pillars-and-waves well centered and the equally choice full cross-lions-castles just enough off-center to allow a visible FERDIN- of the king's name in the legend, traces of toning here and there. Pedigreed to the Caballero de las Yndias Collection (Aureo & Calicó auction of April 2009, lot 584) and to the ANE auction of March 1975 (lot 585), also pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (both stated on label).
