MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales, 1676 (G), unique. S-M20; KM-unl (39 for type); Cal-unl (Type 91). 4.88 grams. At first glance this coin is unassuming, typically small and thin from corrosion, but its full 76 date was actually unknown in this denomination until now (in fact, no examples between 1670 and 1677 have been confirmed), so we expect interest from Mexican specialists despite its diminutive condition, albeit with full mintmark oM and nearly full cross. With original certificate from the salvor/conservator. Recovered from: Joanna, sunk in 1682 off South Africa
