Philip II Cob "Rincon" 4 Reales ND (1568-1570) P-R AU50 NGC, Lima mint, Cal-495, Cay-3739, Sellschopp-2. 32mm. 12.94gm. Alonso Rincón as assayer. A naturally toned representative of this fleeting earlier Cob 4 Reales issue, struck under Alonso Rincón at the Lima mint in Peru. The condition of the present specimen is easily superior to the vast majority of examples that we have located, a result of both a generally clear strike, along with a lighter degree of circulation wear that has left traces of luster underneath a veil of silver patina. Close examination of the surfaces reveals an appearance consistent with that of a shipwreck recovery piece. We note that this example is currently the only one certified by NGC, and thus should draw considerable interest in light of its admirable condition.
