Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, 1727/6 D, extremely rare, ex-Vliegenthart (1739). S-M23a; KM-unl (47 for type). 26.85 grams. Incredibly bold full date with clear under-digit 6 above full oMD (that side off-center), most of cross, the peripheries flat and hammered (as made), totally corrosion-free but with a few dark patches on reverse, interesting shape. From the Vliegenthart, sunk in 1735 off Zeeland, the Netherlands, pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of April 2005 (lot 388).

Note: The printed catalog shows the wrong shipwreck provenance.
