<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AussieCollector, post: 12365931, member: 81093&quot;]Hi all</p><p><br /></p><p>As some of you may be aware (based on previous posts), I have been on the hunt for Spanish colonial gold. While I have some Spanish gold in my collection from the 17th and 18th centuries, I did not have a cob from the colonies (only a milled gold coin from the colonies, and a cob from Seville). </p><p><br /></p><p>As everyone is aware, colonial Spanish cobs have been and continue to be somewhat prohibitively priced. But, sometimes you just have to prioritise appropriately for something you really really want.</p><p><br /></p><p>As it turned out, I really really wanted it. And I prioritised.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that in mind, I&#039;m very proud to announce I am the owner of a Bogota, Columbia, 2 Escudos. Although I bought it a little while ago, I didn&#039;t want to announce it until I had it in the hand - it took some time, but it finally arrived.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://media.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/sedwick/032/image00054.jpg?1665041766" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>2 Escudos</b></p><p>Mint: Bogota, Colombia</p><p>Authority: Phillip IV, assayer A below mintmark NR to left </p><p>Obverse: full shield with clear (N)RA to left</p><p>Reverse: full but slightly doubled cross-and-tressure, encrustation in crevices</p><p>Year: ~1640</p><p>Weight: 6.67 grams</p><p>Catalogue: S-B20; KM-4.1.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to share your Spanish colonials, silver or gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>AC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
