Here is a 1792 Madrid Spanish escudo I just won in a Spanish auction (Soler y Llach). I already have a half-escudo from a bit earlier, but just like that coin, this one has the right orange-toned look I love on old gold. I couldn't resist giving it a bid, and was slightly surprised to find I had won.

Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

Very attractive escudo. The 1/2e from Charles IV is very difficult. Most people are unaware of how challenging it is.
