PERU, Lima, cob 8 reales, 1659 V, mintmark L?M, •8•V to left and right, rare, ex-Ugaz, ex-Rosenheim. Sedwick-II.8.5; S-L5; KM-18.1; Cal-1247. 27.33 grams. Thick and chunky flan (small diameter) with bold full pillars-and-waves showing clear •8-V• to left and right and L?M (with dots above the L and M) above 1659 date in center, choice full cross-lions-castles, much better strike than usual but with legends off the flan, attractively toned VF+ and certainly one of the best examples we have seen of this variety. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz Collection and the Arturo Rosenheim collection, also to the Baldwin's auction of September 2010 (lot 3959).
