PERU, Lima, 4 reales, Philip II, assayer R (Rincón) to left, motto PL-VSV-T, legends HISPANIA / NIARVM, rare, ex-Ponte. S-L1; KM-10.1; Cal-495. 12.44 grams. Broad flan with superb full inner details and much bold legend, devoid of the usual obvious doubling and unevenness, richly toned and lacking virtually any corrosion (XF details). By our records, the odd manifestation of the motto on this coin (lacking the L and RA in VLTRA) is currently unique. Pedigreed to the Luis R. Ponte Collection and to Sedwick Auction 17 (lot 712).
