Panama, cob 1 real, Philip II, assayer oX, Proctor Plate Coin, very rare. S-AP1; KM-2; CT-646. 2.7 grams. The rarest silver cobs of all (as a type) were made in Panama in the 1580s, with mintmark AP and assayers similar to the earliest ones of Lima and Potosi. This specimen shows a very bold mintmark to the left and weaker denomination I above assayer oX to the right of a full and well-detailed shield, with much legend on that side (including a full "backwards" [rotated 180 degrees] D), with excellent full cross-and-tressure on the other side with yet more legend, all nicely toned and XF except for corrosion (which has thinned the flan a bit too), still far nicer overall than any of the other Panama cob 1R we have sold. Plate Coin #1R.1X in Proctor.
