Philip IV "Royal" 8 Reales 1652 P-E MS63 NGC, Potosi mint, KMR-21. Lustrous and Choice Mint State with only trivial surface handling evidence and razor sharp details under superb old light toning. A truly unbelievable example of the rare and very popular Galano cob issues of Potosi, and in all probability the finest example of the denomination for the numismatically significant "transitional" series period, with the ex. Americas (Kagins 8/1983, lot 1180) – Ortiz (SBC 9/1991, lot 82 for CHF33,000) 1653-dated coin the only remotely comparable contender. A most important offering worthy of strong bidding interest.
Ex. Millenia Collection (Goldbergs 5/2008, lot 935)
Estimate: 30000-40000 USD
