Potosi, Bolivia, cob 1/2 real Royal, Ferdinand VI (1747-60), date not visible, very rare. KM-unl.; CT-Type 129. 1.47 grams. Round and evenly struck like a Royal should be (and very different from the regular issue for this period), but the planchet too small to show enough of the date (just the top of the 7 visible, plus the rounded top of the middle digit 5 or 6) below the bold monogram (just the FRDv part, missing the I on the right side), nearly full cross on the other side, toned Fine with old scratches, inevitable hole outside one arm of the cross. Pedigreed to the Santa Rosa de Lima collection.
