Pillars and Waves
Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1733YA, very rare, NGC VF details / holed, plated.S-P45; KM-R31a; Cal-1501.27.35 grams.This coin is a die-match with Lazaro #280 (his example being Sellschopp's), which he rated at R4 (three or four known), but we cannot trace any other examples besides these two. Like the Sellschopp-Lazaro piece, this one is holed (in the date below the cross), but with much better cross (well centered and evenly struck), on a typically small, thick flan with no room for legends, the pillars side slightly doubled and weak in the center, nicely toned over lightly gilt surfaces all over.Pedigreed to the Cayon auction of February 2012 (lot #628).
Estimate: 5000-7500 USD
