Shield Type
Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1637TR, denomination VIII vertically, very rare, NGC XF 40, finest known.S-P27; KM-R19a; Cal-1397.27.41 grams.This coin presents rarity and quality on so many levels: Notably rare as a type, like all Potosi shield-type Royals, this also happens to be the only specimen WITHOUT a hole or other major problem of only four known (needless to say, it is the finest and only graded example in the NGC census). Also beautifully struck and deeply toned, with full details except for the very tops of the letters and numbers in the legends, a die-match with Lazaro #96 (rated at rarity R4), and a total antithesis to the crude (and often debased) regular issues of this period.Pedigreed to our Auction #9 (lot #1146).
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
