KM-9; Cal-777. Weight: 8.14 gms. An interesting fragmented 4 Reales piece. Though it has lost a portion of its planchet to corrosion, this Cob retains identifiable details, especially on the reverse. Distinct castles and lions appear on the upper portion of the central cross, and the truncated final digits of the date are readable. The surfaces show the typical saltwater damage seen in other pieces from the Atocha shipwreck.
