Watch List notes:

Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, 1740 M, mounted pillars-side out in 18K gold bezel with diamonds and sapphires with large thick bail. 14.14 grams total. An impressive piece of jewelry containing a decidedly average VG-grade coin with well-centered cross and pillars and clear dates on both sides (perhaps the date being of particular significance to the mounter), the bezel itself wide and flat with multi-level prongs sporting tiny blue sapphires, three small diamonds in the wide round bail to accommodate a thick-gauge chain. With photo-certificate.
($350-500)
