Áureo y Calicó sale 345, lot 649

This specimen was lot 649 in Áureo y Calicó sale 345 (Barcelona, March 2020), where it sold for €65 (about US$86 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"1820. Fernando VII. Sevilla. CJ. 2 reales. Buen ejemplar. Ex Colección Manuela Etcheverría. MBC+. (kingdom of Spain, Ferdinand VII, two reales of 1820, Seville mint. Good example, choice very fine.)"

This type was struck in Madrid (shown here) 1814-33, in Seville 1815 and 1820-33 and in Cadiz 1810-12 only. Lower in fineness than contemporary Latin American issues, they were discounted in international trade. Tho priced fairly cheaply in the SCWC, this type is very difficult to find at U. S. coin shows.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.77 g, 0.812 fine silver, this specimen 5,85 g.

Catalog reference: KM 460.3, Cayón-15567, Cal-1026.
