Mexico City, Mexico, cob 4 reales Royal (galano), 1730/28/5R/D, PHILIPPVS/LVDOVICVS, unique, ex-Rudman. S-M24; KM-unl; Cal-unl (cf 1075). 13.36 grams. Typically choice strike and flan, like all later Mexican Royals, struck in medallic alignment with precise centering and no doubling (some believe by machine), this specimen also beautifully toned in XF grade with two old holes (one at top and one at bottom). Fascinatingly, this piece also exhibits multiple re-use of dies dating back to Louis I, and the argument can be made that ALL larger Royals (excluding the 1/2R) after 1725 were made from dies originally engraved in that year. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman numismatic cabinet.
