America's First Gold Coins
Historic coins dating back to the 1700’s!
Before the U.S. Mint was authorized in 1792, colonists in America used the legendary 90% gold “escudo.” Struck in Spain’s New World empire, the coin was issued in five different denominations: one-half, 1, 2, 4 and 8 escudos. The one-half escudo was equal in value to $1, while the 8 escudos — valued at $16 — was America’s largest gold coin until the Mint struck its first gold dollar in 1849.
Available exclusively from PCS Stamps & Coins, this is the complete collection of all FIVE escudos — every single denomination — that circulated in America.
The collection also includes a Display Chest and Collector’s Guide, yours at no extra charge.

These historic coins are presented in circulated condition, with all major design details visible; for easy and safe inspection of both sides, each is housed in a clear protective capsule. A portrait of the reigning Spanish king appears on the front of each coin, with inscriptions showing his name and the date of issue; the backs feature a shield (“escudo” in Spanish) and a crown above it to symbolize the Spanish royal family. Please note: your coins will feature the reigning monarchs in the years issued and may differ from the ones shown. The lockable wooden Display Chest (measuring 8" x 5½" x 3½") — with golden accents and a colorful map of early America — and Collector’s Guide, which provides fascinating details about the design and history of your coins, will be sent free of charge with your first shipment.
