Early shield type. Large S-P mintmark and assayer at the sides of the pillars, with P within cartouche at center. Latin reverse legend. The coin displays dark toning with oxidation across the surfaces and light hairlines on the obverse, probably attributable to an old cleaning attempt.

This type corresponds to Variety 2 in the study by Cori Sedwick and Isaac Rudman on “The Silver Coinage of Joanna and Charles of Santo Domingo”, presented at the Convention of Historians and Numismatists held in Santo Domingo in 2023.

This is undoubtedly an extremely rare specimen, and we are confident it will attract considerable attention among collectors of this period
