Lima, Peru, 1 real, Philip II, assayer Rincón, scarce. S-L1. 2.7 grams. Choice specimen of a desirable issue (first coinage of South America), well-centered and sharp strike on a round flan with much bold legend (full PHILIPPVS), particularly nice pillars, the shield slightly doubled but crisp, the crown full, lightly toned and XF+ for grade but with a hint of corrosion as from salvage (like most). Probably from the Rimac River in Lima, Peru.
