Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, 1729 R. S-M24; KM-47a; Cal-1415. 25.90 grams. Choice and practically corrosion-free, with bold full oMR and 1729 date (decidedly not 9/8, based on die study with actual examples, despite the Ponterio description), nearly full cross and shield, the latter with some dark patches, blunted points on edge. Pedigreed to the Robert W. Hoge Collection, the CNG auction of November 2015 (lot 393), and the Ponterio auction of June 2010, with original lot-tag 6252. Recovered from: Vliegenthart, sunk in 1735 off Zeeland, Netherlands
