PERU. Cob 4 Reales, 1731-L. Lima Mint; Assayer Joaquin Negron y Colmenares (N). Philip V. PCGS Genuine--Chopmark, VF Details.
KM-33A; Cal-1044. Weight: 13.10 gms. This intriguing Lima cob is covered with an array of chop marks, hinting at its circulation in East Asia. Among the wide variety of markings, the Chinese characters "ning" and "yuan" are quite clear. The merchants were kind enough to leave most of the coin's original details undisturbed, and so the denomination, date, and portions of the mintmark and assayer's initial are all visible. A handsome piece brimming with historical interest. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
