Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1706 J, extremely rare, NGC XF details / holed, ex-Rudman, Lazaro Plate. S-M22; KM-R47; Cal-1363. 25.65 grams. Impressively large and evenly struck with fully details, like most Mexican Royals, with light toning on fields that display strong metal-flow lines, typically holed at the top (medal-aligned). Lazaro rates this very coin as RU (unique), and we can find no other examples, and also points out that the second I is missing in INDARVM. Clearly a unique opportunity for the advanced collector. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet, Plate Coin on page 117 of Lazaro's Los redondos de Lima, Mejico y Potosi y otras acunaciones especiales (1996).
