Lima, Peru, cob 2 reales Royal, 1739N, flipover double-strike, very rare. S-L21; KM-R32a; CT-unl. 6.26 grams. Not only rare as a Royal but also unique as showing both designs on both sides of the coin, with most of the (full inner) details still clear and set off by darkly toned fields, VF with minor scratches, typical hole at edge. Pedigreed to the Santa Rosa de Lima collection and to our Auction #13 (with original lot-tag #1094), in which we erroneously described it as a 1730.
Estimate: $1500
