MEXICO. "Royal" Presentation Cob 1/2 Real, 1725-Mo D. Mexico City Mint, Assayer D. Luis I. PCGS Genuine--Holed, EF Details.
KM-R25; Cal-5. Two-year type. One of only two certified examples of the date in this format for the ruler on either the NGC or PCGS census. The wholesome and ever-popular issue is always a collector favorite and heavily sought after. Seldom appearing on the market in this presentation format, the surfaces do show signs of handling and wear one would expect to see from the designated grade. As indicated on the PCGS insert, a hole at 7 o'clock accounts for the details designation, but is not overly distracting for this piece. Despite its shortcomings this survivor offers a pleasing appearance with all of the pertinent details on the obverse while the reverse shows a bit more wear.
