BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1733-P YA. Potosi Mint, Assayer (purportedly) Francisco de Yllana (YA). Philip V. PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, AU Details.
KM-30A; Cal-1185; CJ-44.6.2. Weight: 13.80 gms. One of only a few certified examples of the date on either the NGC or PCGS census. This boldly struck example features a broad planchet with three full complete dates, two denominations, two Assayer's letters, three mint marks, both pillars and the majority of the cross and quadrilobe. The lions and castles, though clear in three quarters of the cross, is slightly doubled in the lower-left quadrant somewhat obscuring the lion there. Also present are the last two letters of the monarchs name and their ordinal "VS*V" adding another layer to its desirability. Close inspection reveals thick black patina and minor encrustation and earthen deposits accounting for the details designation, but is quite pleasant and original looking. Despite its shortcomings this handsome survivor offers a pleasing appearance with many desirable attributes that are highly sought after from this series.
