PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1703-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Francisco Hurtado (H). Philip V. PCGS EF-45.
KM-33; Cal-1025. Weight: 13.16 gms. This beautiful piece offers finely struck and well-preserved detail. While the somewhat compact flan means that the outer legends have been excluded, the central devices on both sides are rather impressive. The obverse displays both mintmarks, the denomination, the date, and most of both assayer's initials. The date is particularly sharp and eye-catching. While the reverse only offers portions of the mintmark and assayer's initial, the central castles and lions present handsomely with fine style. Most strikingly, the coin is gorgeously toned, with a pewter gray color throughout and a dazzling iridescent sheen. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
