SB122-8268r.jpg

This specimen was lot 8268 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $660. The catalog description[1] noted, "SPAIN. 2 Escudos, 1774-M PJ. Madrid Mint. Charles III. PCGS AU-53. A wholesome example with a good amount of details remaining. Some areas of honey orange tone give this piece quite a nice eye appeal." This type was struck in Madrid 1772-85 (KM 417.1) and Seville 1773-79 (KM 417.2) and is not especially rare tho choice specimens are always in demand. Two escudos were struck in metropolitan Spain 1738-1833 in considerable numbers and are quite a bit more common than their counterparts from Latin America, where the two escudos was a rare denomination. Assayer PJ is listed for 1765-81.

Specification: 6.77 g, .901 fine gold, .196 troy oz AGW.
