Cuzco, Peru, gold cob 2 escudos, 1698 M, large flan with RX in legend, NGC MS 63 (1715 Fleet Label). S-CZ1; KM-28; Cal-855. 6.71 grams. At 25mm, this is probably the broadest flan we have ever seen for this type, a perfect example of the "Lima cut" style (characterized by the error RX for REX in legend), with full crown and nearly full legends (including clear C.II for Charles II), choice full cross-lions-castles, full but doubled pillars-and-waves, lustrous and very lightly toned. From the 1715 Fleet.
