Mexico City, Mexico, cob 2 reales, Philip II or III, assayer F, variety with 8-F to left, 3 small castles in each quadrant (and other odd features), rare. 6.0 grams. Very strange coin (possibly a contemporary counterfeit) with what appears to be a small 8 punched over a large 8 above the assayer to the left of full shield with atypical design elements, full cross with the castles appearing as one above two in each quadrant, toned, hairline edge-split, AVF details with minor corrosion as salvaged, possibly from the "Rill Cove wreck" of ca. 1618 off southwestern England. Pedigreed to the Mark Bir collection.
