COLOMBIA. Cob 8 Reales, ND (1622)-RN A. Cartagena Mint. Philip III. NGC AU Details--Salt Water Damage.
KM-3.2; Restrepo/Lasser-M7S-1. Weight: 26.29 gms. Variety with pomegranate in triangle below escutcheon of Portugal. This VERY RARE type seldom appears on the market and is always highly sought after. Though crudely made the strike is decent with most of the shield, full cross and nearly complete lions and castles. The surfaces do exhibit areas of light granularity consistent with salt-water emersion as indicated on the NGC insert adding a bit of character. Despite its shortcomings this handsome example displays rich mottled gray patina with much remaining details certain to catch the attention of many collectors.
