COLOMBIA. Cob 2 Escudos, ND (ca. 1636-38)-NR (A). Nuevo Reino Mint. Philip IV. NGC AU-58. Fr-2; KM-4.1; RL-M50S; Cal-type-36. This wholly original looking survivor exhibits somewhat of an uneven strike with minor doubling on the obverse and clear denomination and mint mark. This gently circulated example displaying lovely orange patina amongst the devices and protected areas complemented by a pale gold color on the high points. A handsome example of the type with a pleasing appearance that would make a nice addition to many collections. <p><em>By comparing the die characteristics to other examples of this type the style can be matched to the 1636-38 issues. The most prominent characteristic is the circles with a dot in the center in the corners of the quatrilobe which do not seem to appear on other dates from this series.</em>
