This specimen was lot 75631 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2024), where it sold for $660. The catalog description[1] noted, "SPAIN. Cob 2 Reales, 1613-B. Segovia Mint. Philip III. PCGS VF-30. Type 132 with full mint mark, assayer mark, and date. Attractive." This cob was issued from Segovia 1608-14. Similar cobs were produced at Granada, Madrid, Valladolid, Toledo and Seville. We nearly filed this under Valladolid (KM 26.9) but that mint did not use assayer's initials in this period. Segovia also issued milled 2 reales. Assayers B and D stamped coins concurrently 1612-13.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 6.86 g, 0.931 fine silver.
