Pillars and Waves
Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1744q/C, unique (unlisted), NGC UNC details / holed.S-P50; KM-unl (R31a for type); Cal-unl (Type 174).26.78 grams.While holed as usual (right through the lower half of the 8 above the cross), this coin is exceptionally high grade and choice (well centered and evenly struck) and practically devoid of wear, somewhat low in contrast due to lack of toning, overall a beautiful example of the thick, small-diameter type of Royals from this period. Notably, the cross side is a die-match with Lazaro #299 under assayer C, but neither side is a match with Lazaro #300 (1744q), hence this is a new and unique listing entirely.Pedigreed to the Cayon auction of February 2017 (lot #50390).
Estimate: 5000-7500 USD
