Cartagena?, Colombia, cob 1 real, Philip IV, assayer not visible (attribution tentative). 2.1 grams. At first this appears to be a normal Spain cob, but certain aspects (lack of borders, possible letters above and below denomination I to right of shield, etc.) point to the possibility that it was made in Cartagena, its low grade (VG) and distracting toning (not to mention the off-center shield) making it nevertheless affordable to study.
