Description from the seller
Spain. Philip V (1700-1746). Lot of 3 copper 2 maravedís coins: 1719 Zaragoza and 1746 Segovia (×2)
DESCRIPTION
"With my courage I protect both worlds." That is proclaimed by these three copper coins of Philip V, the first Bourbon of Spain: a crowned lion, with sword and scepter, embraces the two worlds, the Old and the New, under the motto VTRVMQ VIRT PROTEGO (Utrumque virtute protego).
The lot covers the reign from end to end: from 1719, just after the copper coinage was created for all his realms (Royal Decree of September 24, 1718), to 1746, the year of the king’s death.
1. 2 maravedís, Zaragoza, 1719. The rarest in the lot.
Obverse: PHILIP·V·D·G·HISPAN·REX. Crowned shield with the arms of Castile and León and the lilies of Bourbon; on the sides, Z (mint mark of Zaragoza) and II (value).
Reverse: VTRVMQ·VIRT·PROTEGO·1719. Crowned lion leaning on the two worlds, with sword and scepter.
Castilian maravedís minted in the capital of the former Kingdom of Aragon: after the Decrees of Nueva Planta, Philip V created for the first time a single monetary system for all of Spain. In Zaragoza, this denomination is known only from 1719.
References: AC 80; KM 302.2.
2 and 3) 2 maravedís, Segovia, 1746 (two specimens).
Obverse: PHILIP·V·D·G·HISP·REX. Crowned shield of Spain with the Bourbon escutcheon; on the sides, the aqueduct (mint mark of Segovia) and the value, 2.
Reverse: VTRVMQ·VIRT·PROTEGO·1746. The same crowned lion on the two worlds.
Issues from the Royal Mint of Segovia dated 1746, the year in which Felipe V died (July 9, 1746), after almost half a century of reign.
References: AC 75; KM 366.
Together, the three pieces show the evolution of the type: the simple shield of the early issues versus the complete shield, with the Bourbon escutcheon, of the latest ones.
Condition: 1719 Zaragoza, MBC+, with green patina; 1746 Segovia, MBC and MBC-, with dark patina.
It is delivered with certificate of authenticity and invoice.
