BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 4 Reales, 1697-CH. Potosi Mint, Assayer Sabastian de Chavarria (CH). Charles II. PCGS Genuine--Holed, VF Details.
KM-25; Cal-505 (RRR); CJ-R29.31.1. Weight: 12.17 gms. One-year Assayer. The only certified example on either the NGC or PCGS census. This decently preserved example, on a nearly perfectly round planchet, displays a light attractive gray coloration on the high points that transitions to slate patina amongst the devices. The obverse design elements are bold with minimal doubling while the reverse shows slightly more strike shifting muddling aspections of the features. All three dates are clear, though the one in the obverse legend is partially of the flan. As indicated on the PCGS insert a hole is noticed at 12 o'clock of the reverse, cross side, for suspension. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of this seldom encountered format, that is sure to add depth to the next collection it enters.

Estimate: $1500 - $2500
