Mexico
Philip V Cob 8 Reales 1703 Mo-L VF (Test Cut, Chopmarked), Mexico City mint, KM47 (Rare), Cal-1388. 35mm. 27.76gm. A scarce, early dated Cob from this reign, expressing an essentially full year, mintmark, and assayer's initial. Very likely a hoard coin based on its overall appearance, and one of fewer than 10 that we have been able to locate coming to auction in the last few decades.
Ex. Ponterio & Associates Auction 141 (January 2007, Lot 1877)
