Lot of two Potosi, Bolivia, cobs of Philip III: 8 reales, assayer Q/C; 1/2 real, assayer C?. 27.77 grams total. The 8 reales appears to be Q/Q/C and the 1/2 real has a possible assayer C below the monogram. Both salvaged with spotty encrustation yet with strong details (particularly on the 8 reales). The 8R is pedigreed to the Cayon auction of September 2011 (lot 3910).
