PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1720-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Felix Cristobal Cano Melgarejo (M). Philip V. PCGS Genuine--Plugged, VF Details.
KM-33; Cal-1034. Weight: 12.36 gms. This cob is rather well worn and was holed and plugged at the 12 o'clock position on the obverse. The piece was quite well-struck, however, and the hole did not interfere with any of its details. The nicely centered obverse displays the denomination, mintmark, assayer's initial, and the date, all clear and readable. On the reverse, part of the assayer's initial peeks through and the three-digit date is satisfyingly complete. The details of the castles and lions around the cross in the center have been softened from circulation, but their forms are distinct and pleasing. This remains an appealing coin with attractive light gray surfaces. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
