    Shipwreck Coin? Need Help Identifying

    Any info would be appreciated. I posted this in the "What Is It" also but thought this might be more suitable. It has been tested to be 22k or better gold, has a bezel on it with a chain that is 14k gold (the bezel and coin are not molded together, they are separate). We don't have any paperwork to go with it, got lost along the way since it has been handed down the family. When the jeweler tested it he also weighed it...it weighed 6.5 or 6.9 (I forgot exactly). Any info or an estimated price would be great! Thanks!!

    I'd say 1660's right near the end of Phillip the 4th's reign. Santa Fe De Bogata mint, 2 escudos. Dunno price maybe a little over 1k to 2k.

    Don't think the cross is right for a bogey

    Seems too small - more like a Mexican cross

    but Iam wrong alot!

    Why don't you re -post this on the coin thread?

    Its already set...
    Since 1987 our Jupiter Wreck has continued to yield coins but the question, "Where's the rest of the Ship?" has remained unanswered...  There are 2 layers of shipwreck scatter and we are equipping the "Enterprise" to excavate the primary treasure layer.  Join with us this year!

    Not a Mexican cross, they have the balls on the ends. Looks like a Bogota cross. Shield is broken which is the first thing that made me think, weird, maybe fake. But, let the experts check it.

    Take a look at coin C6 here; seems most similar:

    It's hard to tell without a close look at the back, at the crowns/fleurs between the cross arms. So it could fall from 1630 to 1640 or 1655 to 1660. These non-overlapping arbesques are the easiest to fake and I had to look at it a few times to make sure it was not a back I had done about 10 years ago.
