Spain: Philip II Gold Cob 2 Escudos (1556-1598) – XF45 NGC

This gold 2 Escudos cob, minted during the reign of King Philip II of Spain (1556-1598), is a stunning example of Spain’s colonial-era coinage. Struck in hand-hammered gold, these coins were produced in the Spanish mints, including those in the New World, to finance Spain’s vast empire and maritime explorations.

Graded XF45 by NGC, this piece exhibits strong details and minimal wear, preserving its original character. The obverse features the crowned Habsburg coat of arms, symbolizing Spain’s imperial power, while the reverse displays the cross of Jerusalem, a hallmark of Spanish cobs. Due to the nature of hand-struck coins, each piece is unique, adding to its collectibility.

Highly sought after by numismatists and investors, this historic Spanish gold coin represents the wealth and influence of the Golden Age of Spain.
