BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 8 Reales, 1692-P VR. Potosi Mint, Assayer Pedro de Villar (VR). Charles II. NGC AU Details--Holed.
KM-R26; Lazaro-230 (same dies); Cal-688. Weight: 26.55 gms. The single finest certified of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, despite being in a details holder. This beautifully preserved late date Charles II Royal exhibits boldly struck devices with minor doubling on the reverse struck on a somewhat compact round flan. Rich old cabinet patina with hints of luster in the protected areas of the cross offers much originality and a pleasing appearance. A small hole at 12 o'clock of the obverse as is commonly encountered on these issues, but is hardly a distraction on this high grade rarity. Despite its shortcomings this wholesome looking and very attractive survivor has much to offer and is in EXTREMELY RARE state of preservation sure to excite many collectors.
