MEXICO. "Royal" Presentation Cob 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1600)-Mo F. Mexico City Mint; Assayer F. Philip III. NGC EF-45.
KM-R44.1; Cal-84; cf. Laz-#33 (Same reverse die, unpublished obverse die). Weight: 27.41 gms. The only example certified on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. A lovely dark silver patina coats both sides of this special presentation coin struck about 1600. Design details are full struck up with minor doubling somewhat muddling some of the devices, but is hardly a distraction for this impressive issue. A great example of this EXTREMELY RARE type that is sure to garner much attention from many collectors as the opportunity to acquire such an immense numismatic relic does not present itself often.
