SPAIN GOLD COIN 1 ESCUDO 1597 "DATED" PCGS 40  EXCELLENT CENTERING! STRUCK FROM THE SEVILLE MINT. WHAT'S SO AMAZING ABOUT THIS GOLD COIN IS THE PROMINENT STRIKE OF THE DATE "1597."  WE ALSO HAVE A SPAIN 2 ESCUDO STRUCK AND DATED 1596!  IT'S INCREDIBLY RARE TO EVER FIND A "DATED" COB, AND EVEN IF YOU FIND ONE IT'S GENERALLY NOT LEGIBLE.  THIS PIECE AND OUR 1596 ARE BOTH STRUCK VERY HARD AND CLEAR.  I'VE ONLY SEEN TWO EXAMPLES OF THE SPAIN DATED STRUCK THIS NICE AND ONE FROM 1590 (WHICH WE ALSO OFFER ON A 2 ESCUDOS).
