SPAIN - PHILIPPE II (1555-1598).
4 gold escudos.
Beautiful, imposing gold coin minted during the reign of Philip II, sovereign of an empire where "the sun never set".
Weighing 13.30 grams, this coin features a crowned shield on the right and a four-lobed cross on the reverse, emblematic motifs of Spanish coinage of the period.
Some wear is visible, particularly on the high reliefs, but the types remain identifiable.
Referenced in specialized literature as F158, this coin illustrates the economic power and symbolic wealth of 16th-century Spain.
