Maracaibo, Venezuela, "imitation cob" 2 reales, LVS in center, date not visible but matching others with "182" (1813-14), very rare. Cal-Type 202; KM-5. 2.71 grams. Nicely toned VF in typical weight (made to match cut-down true cobs that were in circulation at the time) with nearly full cross fleury showing distinctive lions and castles and full "pine tree" tops of pillars with 3-2-2 across top and P-LVS-(VL) across middle (the bottom row not visible but should contain date 182 [sic]), a very rare date-variety of which less than a dozen are known, and a type that is in high demand.
