Lima, Peru, cob 4 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, *-oiiii to left, P-oD/X to right, very rare. S-L4; KM-11; Cal-unl. 13.49 grams. Perfectly round with superb full cross-lions-castles, the crown and shield also full but weaker, most of the legend bold, prominent oD/X to right with bold denomination to left showing the * mintmark squeezed in above it, XF with darkly toned fields. All the known examples of 4R oD/X appear to be from the same obverse die showing HISPANIARVM with an H (with at least a couple different reverses), whereas some of the clean-X 4R known were struck from a different obverse with ISPANIARVM (no H), proving that this difference alone is not an indicator of either time period or mint, unfortunately. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection and to the Ponterio auction of October 1994 (lot 1240).
