3361. Lot 30227

描述:: Felipe V gold Cob 4 Escudos 1739 L-V, KM-37, Fr-8, 13.49 gm, AU Details (Mount Removed) NGC. A rare denomination for cob coinage with the present specimen touting an incredibly sharp, well-centered strike that boldly displays the date, denomination and assayer initial on the obverse, and ideally places the cross on the reverse. Close inspection reveals some smoothing on the rim around 6:00 as well as skilled tooling in the obverse and reverse fields that was intended to further sharpen the detail. Still, an immensely desirable type example of which few can say they own an example. Realized $4,993.75. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3363. Lot 30226

描述:: Carlos II gold Cob 4 Escudos 1700 L-H, KM25, MS65 NGC. Due to its long-standing association with "treasure," numismatists have long been attracted to cob coinage. Most broad-based collectors find it worthwhile to add at least one representative to their collections. For most, this means picking up one of the many silver denominations; for the more financially secure, it often means the acquisition an 8 Escudo type from a shipwreck salvage, like the 1715 Plate Fleet. While these shipwrecks have given supply to the collectors who desire to connect with this era of Spanish Colonial coinage, their hauls have, for the most part, been absent of the 4 Escudos type. As such, any issue of the 4 Escudos denomination, especially during Carlos II's reign, is rare, and any offering is met with great enthusiasm. The present 4 Escudos however stands at a great distance from the others - it is very likely the single finest example extant from the reign of Carlos II. The surfaces are nothing short of immaculate with mint-fresh luster throughout, and no handling is apparent even upon close inspection. The strike, often severely misplaced on the flan, is almost perfectly centered with both sides showing near complete border beading. Only slight strike doubling exists. All said, this is undoubtedly one of the finest jewels in a collection of wonderful treasures. For the collector that demands the finest, this is certainly an opportunity that shouldn't be overlooked. Realized $41,125.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3367. Lot 30224

描述:: Frederick III Specie Daler 1651-FG (bottle), KM40, Dav-3590, MS62 NGC. Steel gray patina with sharply struck design features, a rare and most popular type in this select quality.

3369. Lot 30223

描述:: Java. British United East India Company gold 1/2 Rupee 1814-Z, KM248, Fr-15, Prid-2, S-589A, AU53 NGC. Struck under the coinage act of July 6th, 1813 that dictated gold coins be struck of 18 carat fineness with the value of one gold 1/2 rupee to equal the value of 8 silver Javanese rupees. Given the obvious quality control limitations of a branch mint in Java, the present example has been somewhat crudely accomplished with bright luster remaining in the fields and a sharply struck-up design. A multitude of underlying crosshatching planchet adjustment marks (as made) remains visible. Nonetheless, the type and date combination appears to be quite rare, as we can find no modern auction records for it. Also, the multinational aspect of three observed dates in the design - Christian (1814), Javanese script (AS1741), and Arabic (AH1229) - broadens the appeal. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $6,756.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
