Philip V cob 2 Reales (1722) NoR-FS, Nuevo Reino mint, KM19, Restrepo-M72.4 (same dies), Choice XF, 6.86 grams. A remarkable full weight specimen of this rare type, with luster remaining in the fields and well struck, albeit on a chunky flan leaving the date off. Struck from the same pair of dies as the 1722 plated in Restrepo, and from the same pair of dies as the previous lot, but with the "o" between the "NR" mintmark and the initials FS (for assayer Jose Sanchez de la Torre) flanking the pillars punched into the die. Truly a jewel among this challenging series.
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
