Seville, Spain, gold cob 2 escudos, Philip II, assayer Gothic D below mintmark S to left, PCGS AU58 / Atocha Shipwreck. Cal-828. 6.57 grams. First example from this wreck that we have offered of this finely detailed early type, with choice full shield and cross, edge-split and minor interior cracking (as made), attractive golden color all over, desirably certified both by Fisher and by PCGS. Gold cobs from the Atocha are very rare, as only a fraction were found compared to the hundreds of thousands of silver coins. With original Fisher photo-certificate 86A-GC011. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
