This specimen was lot 426 in Áureo y Calicó sale 347 (Barcelona, March 2020), where it sold for €190 (about US$251 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"1864. Isabel II. Sevilla. 2 reales. Muy bella. Brillo original. Rara así. S/C. (kingdom of Spain, Isabel II, two reales of 1864, Seville mint. Very handsome, original luster, rare thus, uncirculated.)"
This type was struck in Barcelona, Madrid and Seville 1857-64. Instead of the traditional "M" and "S" mintmarks the issues are distinguished by three, four, six, seven or eight pointed stars on the reverse (for Segovia, Jubia, Madrid, Seville (shown here) and Barcelona). In 1850, the twenty reales was reduced to 26.91 grams and the copper maravedis dropped in favor of 1/20, 1/10 and 1/5 reales.
Recorded mintage: unknown but scarce.
Specification: 2.59 g, .900 fine silver, .076 troy oz ASW, 18 mm diameter, this specimen 2,55 g.
