PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1688-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Leonardo de Rojas Paramo (R). Charles II. PCGS EF-40.
KM-23; Cal-463. Weight: 13.51 gms. This cob from the Lima mint was struck with notable die rotation and partial flatness that affected the amount of detail present. Nonetheless, the obverse displays the lower mintmark, date, and assayer's initial with full clarity. Part of the city also appears around the outer legend. The reverse adds another denomination and mintmark, along with at least one well-preserved castle. The surfaces of this intriguing piece exhibit matte earthen tones mottled with deep grays, giving the coin rustic appeal. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
