1406- 1454 Gold Double Banda PCGS AU 58

Issued under the Trastámara dynasty during a time of dynastic struggles and maritime expansion, this 1406–1454 Gold Double Banda, graded PCGS AU58, hails from Castile and León. It reflects the evolving power of Spanish monarchy amid conflicts with Portugal and internal noble factions.

Obverse: Features a quartered shield of Castile and León—castle and lion alternating—encircled by a Gothic legend. The fields are well-centered with strong detail in the heraldic elements, especially the lion rampant, symbolizing royal authority.

Reverse: Shows a large crowned shield of the ruling monarch, with significant wear over the devices, yet retaining enough detail to confirm authenticity and style consistent with late medieval Iberian issues.

With a warm golden hue and near-unbroken legends, this AU58 example is exceptionally well-preserved for a hammered gold issue of this period. Its wide flan and relative completeness of strike make it a strong candidate for advanced collectors of medieval Spanish or crusade-era coinage.
