Absolutely stunning example of this early Spanish Colonial Escudo from Colombia. Fantastic 1778 date, struck while the Revolutionary War proceeded. Escudo gold coins such as this circulated in the American colonies and were legal tender in the U.S. until 1857. Scarce coin and interesting New World piece rather than the usual Spain escudos.
