Philip IV "Royal" 8 Reales 1657 P-E AU Details (Plugged) NGC, Potosi mint, KM-R21, Cal-1422, cf. Lazaro-149-155 (these dies not listed). 27.21gm. A visually gratifying representative of this challenging issue, displayed in a markedly above-average quality for this anything but common issue. Steel tone overlies the surfaces, which reveal lustrous qualities and striking golden undertones, while even the fine natural texturing of the fields appears minimally disturbed. Previously holed and since very carefully plugged and repaired just below the lower left quadrant "E" to the obverse.
