Description

Charles II "Royal" Cob Real 1691 P-VR Fine Details (Holed) NGC, Potosi mint, cf. KM-R23 (Rare; this date unlisted), Cal-Type 50 (this date unlisted). 3.23gm. A remarkable discovery piece from these highly sought-after "Galano" coinages. These special issues were carefully made with prepared high-quality dies and flans, to be presented to the Spanish royalty and likely the King himself. Almost always found pierced/plugged--with scholars stating that some even left the mint already holed to be hung in jewelry--this captivating survivor bearing a seemingly unrecorded date retains a good weight despite the wear and all features well-centered and bold. A piece for advanced Cob type collectors. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
