Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Philip V, ca. 1733 as reverse is struck from klippe die, possibly unique. KM-47a. 25.2 grams. This oddity shows a crude, seemingly late-1720s style shield on the obverse but a fancy, klippe-style cross on the reverse, which means either the mint had klippe dies long before 1733 or they reused some coins in that year. The coin is worn (Fine) and patinated, somewhat squarish in shape with one corner bent. Pedigreed to the Mark Bir collection.
