I got a couple Spanish Escudo in my shop (Aurum Strategies- I buy scrap gold), and I am new at the whole coin thing but am interested in starting a collection. One of the escudos was gold and was in a necklace and the other was silver (maybe) and was smaller. I think, after a little research, I have identified the gold one to be a 2 Escudo and the smaller one to be 1/2 Escudo. They are both in pretty good condition- to me, an untrained eye- and I would like to know if they are real. I will be posting pictures later tonight, but one thing that made me hesitant was that the gold Escudo was stamped 14K (very tiny). Could it possibly have been that the jeweler did it while making the ring or is it a fake? Thanks.
