Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales Heart, 1722Y, very rare, ex-von Schuckmann. S-P43a; KM-unl.; CT-1318. 7.68 grams. Huge flan with nearly complete details, coin alignment with date below cross inside top stem (holed there as usual), natural flan separation at about 8 o'clock, attractively toned VF+. While nowhere near as rare as the 8R and 4R Hearts (or the 1/2R), the 2R Heart is still an impressive size and display and was clearly a special piece even in its time of creation. This specimen is much larger than most and particularly eye-catching as a result, with desirable pedigree as well. Pedigreed to the von Schuckmann collection (Renaissance, December 2000), with original lot-tag #681.
Estimate: $5000
