This specimen was lot 31193 in Heritage sale 3041 (Chicago, August 2015), where it sold for $282. The catalog description[1] noted, "Charles III gold 2 Escudos 1781 Mo-FF/FM VF Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Mexico City mint, Harvest-gold colored with surfaces that are consistent with having been in jewelry. Even so, this is a pleasing coin with a clear overassayer. From The Rudman Collection of Mexican Coins." All Mexican colonial gold may be considered scarce. This type, the third showing the bust of Charles III, was struck 1773-88 and is the first type that can be considered reasonably available. This type comes in two varieties; "inverted mintmark" (shown here) and "upright mintmark". The inverted mintmark variety prevailed 1773-1788; the upright mintmark appeared 1772-73 and 1788 only.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 6.77 g, .901 fine gold, .196 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: Cayón-12494, KM 130.2, cf. Cal-484 (unlisted overassayer).
