Barinas, Venezuela(?), contemporary "imitation" cob 1 real, "167" date. 3.1 grams. Thick and chunky like a genuine Potosi 1R of 1767 (also good silver and proper weight) but with unofficial details, particularly the lower-right space in the pillars design and the elements in the quadrants of the cross, and decidedly not "chipi-chipi," VF with contrast around details, possibly rare and important.
