This rare gold doubloon was minted in Spain in 1595. It bears the shield and crown of Phillip II of Spain on the obverse with the four number date 1595 to the right. A portion of the legend "PHYLLYPVS" is visible as well. The reverse has the cross with fleur d lis. This is one of the earliest dated gold coins minted in Spain. Rarely do you see such a great date on a two escudo. This coin weighs 6.7 grams and is a bit bigger than a U. S. Nickel. There were similar coins from this mint on the Spanish Galleon Atocha which sank near Key West, Florida in 1622. Since we don't have a certificate saying it is, we could not guarantee it as such. However, we do guarantee its authenticity. There is a certificate of authenticity accompanying the coin. Don't miss out. Doubloons like this one are seldom seen anymore.
