Comment
Varieties:
Krause catalog mentions for this type KM#296 the dates from 1716 to 1740 but the year 1716 (with two varieties) is listed as a separate type for one of this varieties in the specialized catalogs of Spain as Calicó, the differences being evident in the lettering (DEI · GRATIA / D · G) and in the design of the coat of arms, especially in the crown.
1716 MJ (Cal#1242) DEI · GRATIA
