PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1693-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Juan de Villegas (V). Charles II. PCGS VF-30.
KM-23; Cal-468. Weight: 13.45 gms. This pleasing cob offers well-struck detail. The obverse displays nice full pillars with a clear denomination and date. Although no mintmark or assayer's initial is visible, both marks are present on either side of castles and lions on the reverse. The surfaces are toned to a deep charcoal gray that adds visual appeal to this problem-free example.
