Mexico
Charles II Cob 8 Reales ND (1668-1701) Clipped NGC, Mexico City mint, KM46, Cal-Type 108. 24.65gm. A captivating flan, making one wonder about the so called "zoomorphic cobs", which consisted of oddly shaped planchettes made to be used as pendants. Though assigned as clipped due to the little weight missing, the good connoisseur of Cobs can tell right away that the unique shape came pretty much as is straight from the mint.
