BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 4 Reales, 1679-C. Potosi Mint, Assayer Manuel de Cejas (C). Charles II. PCGS Genuine--Holed, VF Details.
KM-25; Cal-92 (for type); CJ-R29.13.3. Weight: 11.33 gms. Though fairly common as a regular currency issue, "Royals" are seldom encountered for this date. A good portion of the legends are intact such as the complete name and ordinal of the Monarch, a full complete date and most of the mint name. The centers are well-worn with much loss of definition of the devices and evidence of a minor shift in the striking. As indicated on the PCGS insert a hole is present at about 6 o'clock on the obverse, long since toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click
