This specimen was lot 423 in Áureo y Calicó sale 347 (Barcelona, March 2020), where it sold for €1,600 (about US$2,111 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"1836. Isabel II. Madrid. DG (Departamento de Grabado). 2 reales. Bellísima. Brillo original. Ex Colección O'Callaghan 10/11/2016, nº 256. Muy rara. S/C. (kingdom of Spain, Isabel II, two reales of 1836, Madrid mint, assayer's initials DG (department of engraving). Exquisite, original luster, very rare, uncirculated.)"

This rare pattern closely matches the regular issue of 1836. In 1837, the bust was slightly revised and struck in that form until 1851.

Recorded mintage: unknown but probably around 10.

Specification: 2.70 g, 0.812 fine silver, this specimen 3 g. The SCWC gives the incorrect weight of 6.77 g, 0.812 fine silver.
