I believe that is the Madrid Mint Mark, not Mexico City

Definitely a Madrid MM, not Mexico City. Also, it looks more like a 1/2 escudo than a 2 escudo.

Yep. Transcribed the wrong line from the catalog. Drat.

Small wonder that you wished to share the images.
Every collector would like to have a coin like this in their collection.

Nice little typical grade peninsular 1/2 escudo.

This whole thread should delete itself and try again... or maybe not. Perhaps it's educational? Was this in fact just meant to see if we're paying attention?

Do we all REALLY just live in the simulation?
