Anyone able to help me figure anything out about this overdate? I dont see anything in Krause and cant find any notes on it. Thanks in advance!

I could see the underdate being a 6.
Nice 2E, you will probably have better luck on the world coin forum.
There is only an 1807/6 listed

The Numista page (which appears to be based on Krause) is missing the overdates that @Boosibri's book (title?) has.

I did learn in the process that the "crowned M" mint mark is Madrid, vs. the Mo mint mark for Mexico City.
Book is Numismatica Espanola

Thanks - looks like a great book!

@Boosibri, have a 1792 1 escudo, dose your book have a page about this coin, if so can you post it.
There are some good online catalogs:

Thanks Brian! it almost looks like the "M" is doubled, is that just how they are supposed to be?
Generally not but there as so many die varieties in Spanish gold that only the majors garner any attention. Let me know if you come across others you need help with, especially if there are really nice and for sale!

Madrid mint

Thanks 😊
@Boosibri by the why what dose MBC and EBC stand for ?
Spanish grading standards: MBC is broadly VF/EF, EBC is EF/AU, FDC is UNC

This is the "Crown M" mintmark - Madrid.
what's up with the skinny dog hanging by a ring around it's belly?
That's sorta weird.
It's the Golden Fleece, part of the Spanish Royal Coat of Arms.
