PERU. Cob 4 Reales, ND (1577-88)-P *oD. Lima Mint, Assayer Diego de la Torre (D). Philip II. PCGS AU-55.
KM-11; Cal-501; cf. Sellschopp-112; cf. Grunthal/Sellschopp-65. Weight: 13.66 gms. Variety without denomination and rampant lions with curvilinear tail. The single finest certified on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. This beautifully preserved survivor, vastly superior than normally encountered, exhibits boldly struck devices with a full complete shield, crown and Assayer's letters and a partial mint mark on the obverse. The reverse displays a complete cross, castles and lions and octalobe. Most of the legends are present, though slight doubling somewhat muddles several letters. Attractive rich gray and tan patina offer a pleasing appearance to this high-grade example that is sure to catch the attention of many quality conscious collectors.
