PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1726-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Felix Cristobal Cano Melgarejo (M). Philip V. PCGS EF-40.
KM-33; Cal-1039. Weight: 13.46 gms. This Lima cob was struck with considerable peripheral flatness. Just enough of the central devices made it onto the flan, however, to view the denomination, date, and assayer's initial with rather sharp detail. While the coin lacks most of its features, it possesses a certain charm, no doubt helped by its attractive deep patina. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click
