KM-17B; Cal-Type-279. Weight: 10.90 gms. Though slightly corroded and struck on a narrow planchet, this 4 Reales piece retains sharp detail on the obverse, including a distinct assayer's mark. A crowned "F" countermark is boldly struck on the center, signifying a devaluation to 3 3/4 Reales. The reverse is less well-preserved, though it still shows pleasing castles and lions. An attractive piece with abundant visual interest. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
