This Spanish one escudo was struck at the Madrid mint in 1817. The Spanish mints issued considerable quantities of half escudos and one escudos in the eighteenth century but seem to have dropped them after 1801. The year 1817 saw the only issue of half escudos (KM 492) in Fernando's reign and this issue, the only one escudo. The half escudo is fairly common but this one escudo is rare. Two escudos are comparatively plentiful.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 3.38 g, .875 fine gold, .095 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: Cayón-16173, KM 493.
