KM-33; Cal-1037. Weight: 13.02 gms. This 4 Reales cob is well-struck on a rather round flan. The obverse displays the denomination, date, and assayer's initial with impressive clarity. The reverse cross and its castles and lions are pleasantly preserved, as is the mintmark to its left. The coin's surfaces offer an elegant deep tone. An altogether attractive piece that presents excellent detail. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click
