6.73 grams. From the 1656 wreck of the <em>Maravillas</em>, no paperwork. Bright and lustrous yellow gold with full frost on the surfaces. The date is complete, though the very top portions of the 6 and 5 are off the edge. The cross and shield are mostly complete, though a bit muddy in execution, and the assayer R is nice and crisp. Superb color and grade, and very elusive with such a complete date. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Sidney Smith, March 1981.
