Alter a couple of hours spent researching around, I realise that if the mint and minter are not visible the coin drop significantly of value, but I think both faces and shape looks very detailed! Can anyone help me to understand more how valued is a coin in these conditions?

Many thanks :)

Herm, that site is a joke . it doesn't even take into consideration the mint and types . which can make a coin jump from 150 USD to over 10000 USD (royals, nuevo reino, etc .)
Not sure about that one, it's missing critical elements (essayer, king's ordinal) - but it's indeed well struck from what's visible.
300 usd maybe ?

I agree with MM that maybe this cob might fetch as much as $ 300 under certain circumstances and on a very good day, but if I wanted to spend that kind of money I think I'd prefer to wait for a more attractive (=less anonymous) specimen to cross my path.

Thanks so much for the informations.

I had the same thought, even if the critical infos as mint and minter are missing I found the overall condition of the struck very good for the price: 190 dollars.

Thanks again :) I will really appreciate if someone can give me more info about this coin, In particular if there are more minor visible details that can help me to identify rafly the date of mintage.
