SPAIN. Cob 4 Reales, 1659-MD BI. Madrid Mint. Philip IV. PCGS VF-30.
KM-35.4; Cal-1040. Weight: 13.72 gms. A SCARCE date. This deeply toned 4 Reales piece does not display the mintmark or assayer, but it can be attributed to Madrid with reasonable certainty based on the style of the central shield. The obverse shows the monarch's name "PHILIP..." and the denomination, and the reverse offers a bold full date. A nice piece with much originality despite the missing detail.
