Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 11:14 am I'm no expert for sure, but it seems more worn on the obverse than the reverse. Perhaps Fine? Report this Post to the Staff
pirgah Valued Member Brazil 115 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 11:43 am Thanks Coinfrog. The obverse is more worn for sure, but I´m confused because the portrait is more worn than the lettering. Am I correct? Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 4:41 pm The two comments above, when taken together, make some sense to me. It seems the the differential wear of the king's bust image could be due to the style of die cutting. When referring to Google Images 'gold 2 escudos', I see that preferential wear of the king's bust seems to be common. A bit of theorizing: The image of the bust must have been cut in slightly higher relief than the lettering. There are many high points on the reverse of the same relief height above the field, and together, allow the wear on the reverse to be more even across the whole coin.
