PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1696-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Francisco Hurtado (H). Charles II. PCGS VF-35.
cf. KM-23; Cal-471. Weight: 13.33 gms. This RARE cob has quite a singular look, with a nicely toned broad flan. The obverse displays the denomination, date, and assayer's initial along with part of the city name in the outer legend. The revers features another clear date with a portion of the legend visible below it. The strike shows doubling throughout, but the mottled patina and nicely preserved details make this rare piece all the more interesting. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
