Cuzco, Peru, cob 1 escudo, 1698M, Plate Coin in The Practical Book of Cobs, extremely rare (only about 5 known). S-CZ1; KM-A27; CT-173. 3.2 grams. Broad-flan XF+ (the metal extended beyond the border of dots) with full details (cross-and-tressure, castle flanked by C-M with date below), with light toning and luster, a clear candidate for finest known if it weren't for an old hole above the castle, which was no doubt put in specifically BECAUSE the coin was so nice, as all other known specimens (and there are not many) are on much smaller and fatter flans. Plate Coin on page 143 of the 4th edition of The Practical Book of Cobs, and pedigreed to the Morris Geiger collection.
