BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, ND (1603-12)-P. Potosi Mint; Assayer Baltasar Ramos Leceta (R). Philip III. PCGS VF-35.
KM-9; Cal-768. Weight: 13.31 gms. While PCGS dates this coin to 1574-76, part of the ordinal "III" is visible on the obverse legend, making a mintage of 1603-12 the only possibility. This cob has a small flan crack and a deep gray toning that give it a rustic appeal. The obverse shield is quite intact, as are the mintmark and assayer initial on the left. The reverse is well-struck and centered, and curiously displays lions of distinctly different styles. A rather complete cob with great eye appeal.
