BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, ND (1575-76)-P. Potosi Mint; Assayer Miguel Garcia (M). Philip II. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, EF Details.
KM-4.2; Cal-520. Weight: 13.51 gms. An exceedingly well-struck and elegantly toned 4 Reales cob. Areas with deep scratches along the obverse and reverse legends account for the grade, but they appear to have been made long ago and do not detract from the coin's visual impact. The mintmark, assayer's initial, and denomination on the obverse present sharply and clearly on either side of the richly detailed Habsburg shield. The reverse suffers some flatness and doubling but is pleasingly centered. This is a choice example of an early Potosi cob.
From the Pat Johnson Collection. Privately purchased from Freeman Craig.
