BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1618-P RAL. Potosi Mint, Assayer Pedro Martin de Palencia (PAL Monogram). Philip III. PCGS Genuine--Salt Water Damage, EF Details.
KM-9; Cal-774; CJ-8.7.1; Paoletti-151. Weight: 12.38 gms. This decently preserved survivor exhibits a bold full shield, mint mark and denomination; the Assayer's monogram is virtually complete with only a small portion of the bottom left foot that is off the flan. The reverse displays a full complete cross and castles and lions, the octolobe is nearly complete missing about half of the outer outline, and the most pertinent aspect of the legends "A(N)O D 618" are unmistakable. Close inspection of the reverse reveals minor strike doubling most evident in the center of the cross, otherwise virtually undetectable. The surfaces do exhibit slight surface porosity from saltwater immersion accounting for the details designation. Despite its shortcomings this charming example is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
