Spain 1621-Seg A+ 1/2 real

Aureo y Calicó sale 447, lot 1162

This specimen was lot 1162 in Aureo y Calicó sale 447 (Barcelona, March 2025), where it sold for 160 € (about US$209 including buyer's fees). The catalog description^[1] noted, "1621. Felipe III. Segovia. A+. 1/2 real. Scarce. MBC [very fine]." This type was struck at Segovia 1609-15 and 1620-21. It is inexpensive in low grade but very scarce in nice condition. This issue is also catalogued as KM 23. Cayón lists this as a 1621/0 overdate, which is very plausible.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
