sharp, 70% full
shield with bold oM J mint and assayer marks. This

explained in the story, the stains on the coin surface are the
result of it being recovered along side an Iron cannon..

Authenticity and a booklet "Shipwrecks and Their Coins: Volume 3 -
1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet" that provides details about the

type 2 escudos, Philip V (actually a posthumous issue of Charles
II struck during the reign of Philip V), Santa Fe de Bogotá mint, assayer
Buenaventura de Arce (not visible as is typical of this issue), circa
1713.
Observe: Crowned coat of arms of a style unique to 1713
issues.
Reverse: Jerusalem cross die matched to coin 11.01768 of the
Florida State collection. This is an uncirculated coin with
original mint luster and NGC graded
Mint State 62, but misidentified by NGC as a Charles II
issue. The dull appearance in the images is due to the reflection caused
by photographing the coin through the hard plastic NGC case. Supplied
with a New World Treasures photo type Certificate of
Authenticity and a booklet "Shipwrecks and Their Coins: Volume 3 -
1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet" that provides details about the
fleet and its coins. |

2 Escudos - Mesuno Hoard |
Item#: 7262

Mint: Bogotá
Assayer: A (Not Visible)

Diameter: .75-.80 inches

ITEM

| Shield
type 2 escudos, Bogotá Columbia, Philip IV, assayer A, date (163)6.
Beautifully struck full cross with the bottom of the 6 of the
date (163)6 visible, positively attributing the coin to assayer
A. The mintmark NR
for "Nuevo Reino de Granada," the Spanish Colonial
region that included the city of Bogotá, is found to the left
of the shield along with the assayer mark A for
"Anuncibay." Since the shield is offset to the
left on this coin, both marks were struck off the planchet and
are thus missing. This coin is one of many high grade
Bogotá 2 escudos recovered from the "Mesuno Hoard" in
1935. El Mesuno, a location on the Magadalena River in
Columbia, was the site of the 1636 sinking of a small vessel
carrying gold to the port of Cartagena. This is a
beautiful New World coin in almost uncirculated condition.
Supplied with a
New World Treasures photo type certificate of authenticity. |
