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.
