BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 8 Reales, 1667-P E. Potosi Mint, Assayer Antonia de Ergueta (E). Charles II. NGC AU Details--Plugged.
KM-R26; Lazaro-178 (same dies); Cal-662. Weight: 26.75 gms. The only certified example on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. This EXTREMELY RARE and seldom encountered first date of Charles II exhibits boldly struck central devices with minor doubling. The centers are slightly bulbous with fairly complete legends, though areas of flatness are noticed on both sides as usual for this series. This handsome example displays rich mottled ash and slate gray patina indicative of prolonged storage. Close inspection reveals evidence of being plugged in the center of the "O" of "ANO", now toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings an attractive survivor of the type certain to excite many collectors. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
