BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1681-P. Potosi Mint; Assayer Pedro de Villar (V). Charles II. PCGS VF-30.
KM-25; Cal-526. Weight: 9.46 gms. A somewhat circulated and underweight cob that nevertheless offers a satisfying amount of detail. The obverse presents the denomination, upper assayer's initial, lower mintmark, and central date with full clarity, and even includes much of the date on the outer legend. The reverse is not as well-preserved, but the mintmark, initial, and much of the date have survived. A good looking piece with an elegant cabinet toning that shows a hint of mauve beneath the deep gray color. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click
