Philip III "Atocha" Shipwreck Cob 4 Reales ND (1598-1603) P-B VF (Saltwater Damage), Potosi mint, Cal-767. 31mm. 11.68gm. From the 1622 Atocha Shipwreck. An ever-popular type due to its association with the famed Atocha shipwreck, and a slightly lesser-seen denomination than its larger 8 Reales cousin. This particular specimen is struck on a comparatively round flan, with a full mintmark and assayer's initial, and the denomination visible with only minor difficulty. Sold with an Atocha Recovery tag, numbered 85A-235943, and stated as "Origin: Chest 1138."
