PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1660-L* MV. Lima Mint, Assayer Francisco Villegas (V). Philip III. NGC VF Details--Environmental Damage.
KM-17; Cal-1015; Sellschopp/Grunthal-79. Weight: 13.54 gms. The only example certified on the NGC population report. EXTREMELY RARE and very popular, the "Star of Lima" types deviate in style from nearly all other cob types both before and after these were issued. This handsome and moderately worn survivor exhibits a decent strike with even wear displaying rich mottled gray tone. The central design elements are visible on both sides with a bold date and minimal doubling. Close inspection reveals areas of granularity accounting for the details designation. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the date sure to excite many collectors of this series. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
