Mexico — 1 Escudo Cob Pendant (ND) “Cross of Lorraine” Design | Diamond-Set Mount Gold Cob | 4 Diamond Accents

A striking fusion of raw colonial gold and refined craftsmanship, this Mexico 1 Escudo cob has been transformed into a truly distinctive pendant—centered around the bold and symbolic “Cross of Lorraine.” Instantly recognizable, the cross rises prominently from the coin’s surface, its dual-bar form lending both visual strength and historical intrigue.

Struck by hand in the Spanish colonial era, this escudo embodies everything collectors love about cob coinage—irregular flan, organic texture, and a deeply authentic presence. The surfaces retain that unmistakable “fresh from the sea” look, with rich gold luster and a tactile, almost sculptural quality that machine-struck coins simply cannot replicate.

The Cross of Lorraine itself adds an extra layer of character. Whether viewed as a stylistic variation of the classic Spanish cross or appreciated for its broader historical symbolism, it gives the piece a commanding focal point—bold, centered, and beautifully preserved.

Encircling the coin, a custom mount elevates the piece into wearable art. Four diamonds are expertly set at the cardinal points, framing the cob without overpowering it. The contrast between the rugged, centuries-old gold and the crisp brilliance of the diamonds creates a compelling balance—ancient meets modern, raw meets refined.

Suspended from a substantial gold chain, the pendant wears with presence. It is not just jewelry—it’s a conversation piece, a fragment of history carried forward into the present.

A unique and eye-catching example of Spanish colonial gold, enhanced with tasteful diamond accents—powerful, historic, and undeniably one-of-a-kind.
