BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1652-P E (E-E). Potosi Mint, Assayer Antonio de Ergueta (E-E). Philip IV. PCGS VF-35.
KM-18 (this coin illustrated); Cal-1111; Mastalir-1-B.CA. Weight: 13.22 gms. The finest certified of the variety on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. This decently preserved example offers a pleasing appearance with rich mottled patina and minor earthen deposits. Both sides do exhibit signs of strike shifting that muddles some of the devices, but nothing overly distracting. The aspects that are perhaps most appealing for this example appear on the reverse and include most of the monarchs name, full ordinal, complete cross, bold date, mint mark and Assayer's letter, complete lions and partials of the castles. Though the obverse does show several strong features such as nearly complete central inscriptions, a full crown, most of the waves and nearly complete pillars; the reverse is what speaks to this cataloger. This wholesome looking example offers much originality and is quite attractive for the issue, it is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
