JUAN de LEÓN silversmith of Córdoba, (lion's mark). Mark found in the cirias of San Nicolás de la Villa (Córdoba) and the astril of the cross of Nª Sra. De la Asunción (La Rambla). In the lead of marks of the city of Cordoba it is in the nº 17. It can be dated between 1730 (marked in the ciriales) and 1758 final of the contrastía of Taramas.
FRANCISCO SÁNCHEZ DE TARAMÁS Marker of Córdoba from September 27, 1738, until 1758 when he died. It was the first contrast re-elected for six years, according to the Royal Order of November 25, 1752. He must have been in poor health since on January 15, 1758, the Royal Board of Commerce and Currency appointed Damián de Castro to replace him in the absences and diseases; it seems that he was separated from the post on February 11, 1758. This marker always used the same personal mark.

El platero es Miguel Lenzano de la ciudad de Pamplona. La marca J/LENZANO es la del ensayador. y la F no es una marca oficial para la plata española, seguramente sea marca del propietario. Me extraña que no este marcado por las dos PP que es la marca de la ciudad de Pamplona. Adjunto foto de un libro. Saludos.
The silversmith is Miguel Lenzano from the city of Pamplona. The J / LENZANO brand is that of the assayer. and the F is not an official brand for Spanish silver, surely it is the owner's trademark. I am surprised that it is not marked by the two PPs that are the mark of the city of Pamplona. Attached photo of a book. regards.
