Spain 1 Escudo 1516-56 "Full Legends & Perfect Centering" NGC 58
SPAIN 1 ESCUDO 1516-56 "CARLOS I & JOHANNA" NGC 58 FULL LEGENDS AND PERFECT CENTERING!!
This (24mm, 3.35gm) Gold Spanish Escudo is perhaps the most Perfect we’ve ever handled (regardless of grade), as the nearly perfectly round shape is flanked by literally Full Legends, completely legible legends at that! Not only on the Obverse, but the Reverse as well. The CROSS (which many are broken and or doubled in strike) is Perfect, as well as the centering of it, and the Full Tressure is present, NOT even on break in the Tressure, very atypical! Moving on to the Obverse, with it’s FULL SHIELD and FULL CROWN (and again, Full legends that are completely legible, again, very rarely seen) not only has a very deeply and sharp strike, but also has the “STAR” to the left of the Shield). Queen Joanna and King Carlos (Charles), neither of which is normally legible, are both complete on this perfectly centered design. King Charles I holy emperor. Fr 153, Cy. 2984, CCT57-58 (type 27), KM-R! Truly a rare sight and privilege to offer!
