SPAIN. 4 Reales, (16)00. Seville Mint, Assayer B (S B - IIII vertically), Juan Vicente Bravo (1592-1612). Philip III. NGC VF Details--Cleaned.
13.5 gms. Cal-Type 90 (date not listed); KM-36.2 (date not listed); Cayon-date not listed. Nearly complete shield with clear mintmark and assayer's letter, "O(MN)IVM" between 8 o'clock and 11 o'clock. Decent cross with missing portions of the castles, bold last digit of the date "0" with portions of the digit "0" to the left. Though this date seems to be unpublished in the standard reference material it makes perfect sense that it should exist. Lightly cleaned as noted on the NGC insert with surface porosity mentioned for accuracy. Despite its shortcomings an attractive presentable example sure to excite the specialist of Spanish cobs.
Estimate: $75.00- $125.00
