Philip IV "Royal" 8 Reales 1666 P-E VF Details (Plugged) NGC, Potosi mint, KM-R21, Cal-1434, Cay-6580, Asbun-Karmy-C277 (RR), Lazaro-176 (R3). A simply charming example of this immensely popular type, always garnering collector interest regardless of condition, renowned for their careful quality of production and great difficulty to acquire. Dressed in a uniform gunmetal patination across deeply engraved details for which these issues are known, punctuated by a deeper tone and scattered instances of visually intriguing die tooling. A firm strike yields a nearly full expression of the devices throughout with only trivial weakness witnessed to the outermost areas of a portion of the legends. Careful scrutiny of the surfaces reveals little evidence of a plug, indicating a skilled and tasteful repair long ago. As such, we expect collector enthusiasm commensurate with the growing appreciation for the Royal series.
