Mexico City, Mexico, cob 2 reales, 1626/5D, crude Royal(?), unique. S-M18a; KM-unl; CT-unl. 6.52 grams. Like the 4R lot #649 in this auction, this coin is clearly a breed apart from the normal issues of the time but has some major differences from full-fledged Royals, namely the fact that it is not round and consequently does not have full legends. But, unlike lot #649, this coin has a full and bold date (note the unique overdate), oMD, shield and cross, plus most of the crown and legend, all on a very flat and even flan, AVF with contrasting toning, holed at top of cross. ($1500-3000)
