Felipe IV Cob Royal 4 Reales 1658 Mo-P, Calico-689, Cayon-6161, this example is the Cayon plate coin, XF with typical hole at 12 o'clock. An appealing example, bearing a crude Costa Rican counterstamp, with well-defined devices and silvery surfaces on a broad flan accented by golden-russet tone in protected areas. A very rare coin from a scarce denomination, Royal cob 4 Reales make exceptionally uncommon appearances at public auction and always command a premium. A rare opportunity for the specialist. Ex: Huntington Collection, Lot 26215, with accompanying collection tag.
