1713.

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

by photographing the coin through the hard plastic NGC case. Supplied

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.
