Mexico City, Mexico, cob 2 reales, 1715J, ex-1715 Fleet. S-M22; KM-35; CT-1260. 6.80 grams. Odd and indescribable shape with round, protruding tail (whale or snail?), with full oM and bold bottom half of date, nice cross and nearly full shield, 100% corrosion-free but with a couple spots of dark "horn silver" on reverse, an appealing coin in many ways but especially as the date of the wreck. From the 1715 Fleet. Auction lot-tag personally signed by John Pullin. The John Pullin Collection of Dated Mexican Cobs.
Estimate: $400-600
