Panama, cob 1 real, Philip II, no assayer, unusually fine style, unique. 3.3 grams. Missing in the Proctor reference but believed by him to be a test-strike for new punches after the assayer-oB series, this unique coin significantly lacks any evidence of an assayer letter in the dies, yet clearly shows the AP mintmark to the left and denomination I to the right of the shield, with all details neatly executed and well centered but partially flat (bold where struck up), VF or better for actual wear, with light toning here around details, hairline edge-split.
