BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1620-P. Potosi Mint; Assayer Juan Jimenez de Tapia (T). Philip III. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, VF Details.
KM-9; Cal-778. Weight: 13.04 gms. This shipwreck cob was cleaned, as noted by PCGS. However, the coin offers a remarkable amount of detail. The obverse bears a clear mintmark and assayer's initial with a small cross dividing them, as is proper for this mintage year. The Habsburg shield is well-centered and quite complete. The reverse retains the last two digits of the date in their near entirety, and both sets of lions and castles are displayed boldly and with attractive clarity. A fortunate survivor from the Atocha wreck. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
