BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 4 Reales, 1727-P Y. Potosi Mint, Assayer Diego de Ybarbouro I(Y). Luis I. NGC EF Details--Holed.
KM-R-A35; Cal-33. Weight: 13.32 gms. Only four examples of this date have been certified by NGC, all XF Details -- holed (1727[2] and 1727/6[2]). This EXTREMELY RARE and highly desirable presentation 4 Reales exhibits bold, well-defined devices on a compact round planchet. Pervasive rich cabinet patina offers a pleasing appearance to this very attractive example. As indicated on the NGC insert, holed at 12 o'clock on the obverse accounts for the details designation, but is hardly a distraction of this seldom encountered issue. Despite its shortcomings this coveted type is certain to make an excellent addition to many collections. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
