This specimen was lot 43 in Sedwick Auction 37 (Winter Park, FL, May 2025), where it sold for $10,800. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Peru|PERU]], Lima, gold cob 2 escudos, 1717 M, very rare, NGC UNC details / saltwater damage, ex-Loosdrecht (1719), ex-Almenara. Very bold strike with satin fields, choice full pillars-and-waves and cross-lions-castles (the latter very slightly doubled), clear king's ordinal V and second date 7 (the only digit) in legend, with minor surface graininess as expected for this shipwreck (not mentioned on label). From the ''Loosdrecht'' (1719), with certificate, pedigreed to the Almenara Collection." Not until 1684 was the Lima mint opened on a permanent basis. The mintage of gold commenced in 1696. This type is recorded for 1701-44. Recorded mintages are much lower than of the eight escudos ([[Peru 1717-L M 8 escudos|KM-38.2]]). Assayer Melgarejo stamped his coins 1709-27. Specimens with legible dates are scarce. The Mexico City mint was converted to milled coinage in 1732-34 but Lima would not follow suit until 1751. The SCWC records no two escudos for 1717, 1718 or 1719.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 6.77 g, 0.917 fine gold, this specimen 6.54 grams.

''Catalog reference:'' [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-limonite]], S-L28; Cal-unl (Type 222); Fr-9; KM-36 (unlisted date).
