I found this coin and this statement on this webpage:</p><p><br /></p><p>The fourth specimen was lot 12272 in Ponterio sale 169 (Baltimore, November 2012), where it sold for $258. The catalog description[3]noted, &quot;SPAIN. 10 Escudos, 1868. 3.56 gms. Isabella II (1833-1868). Types of Fr-332; KM-616.2. Contemporary circulating counterfeit in gilt platinum. Much of the gold wash has worn away, revealing the platinum from which this coin was made. CHOICE VERY FINE. From the Estate of Michael K. Ringo.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Spain_1868_10_escudos_(68)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Spain_1868_10_escudos_(68)" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Spain_1868_10_escudos_(68)</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
