Philip II Cob 8 Reales ND (1556-1598) Mo-F AU58 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM-43. 27.2gm Virtually Mint State, with nearly full luster preserved in the fields and no clearly discernible wear detectable to the rougher raised sections - these a product of the crude striking process employed in the type's production as opposed to any actual mishandling or use in trade. A fine relic of the early Spanish colonial age, with prominent flan cracks at the edges contributing to a quintessential cob appearance.
