Mexico City, Mexico, cob 1/2 real, 1714J, Royal dies(?), rare. S-M22; KM-24; CT-1827. 1.60 grams. Superb strike with Royal-quality details (full date, crown, monogram, oMJ and fleur, also full cross on reverse) but on a rectangular cob flan, nicely toned VF. It is worth noting that the typically perfect, round Royal 1/2R do not begin until 1715, so perhaps this 1714 is as close as you can get to a true Royal for this date and denomination.
