(1586-89)P A/B 8 R Calico-673 MS (PCGS#815398)

November 2022 Collectors Choice Online Auction World Coins

详细说明: BOLIVIA. Cob 8 Reales, ND (1589-91)-P. Potosi Mint; Assayer Baltasar Ramos Leceta (RL). Philip II. PCGS EF-40. KM-5.1; Cal-675; Paoletti-98. Weight: 26.98 gms. This beautiful 8 Reales piece, struck on a full and rather round flan, displays an interesting assayer monogram. The obverse shows a sharp mintmark, albeit slightly doubled. The assayer's mark is slightly muddled but exhibits the distinct features of the "RL" monogram of the assayer Leceta's first period. The denomination is legible on the right, despite minor muddling of the "III". Nearly all sections of the complex Habsburg crown are intact and clear. Along the rim, the full name of the monarch is readable. The reverse was struck several times and its details suffer as a result, though the castles still present nicely and the octolobes are nearly complete. The coin is pleasingly toned with pewter-gray hues on its high points and a tasteful dark tone surrounding the devices, allowing the details to pop. This piece is dripping with eye appeal and would be a fitting addition to a sophisticated collection. Estimate: $400 - $600. Provenance: From the Pat Johnson Collection.
