Potosi, Bolivia, cob 1 real, 1679V/C, very rare. S-P39; KM-unl. (cf. 23); CT-unl. (Type 134). 2.7 grams. Richly toned Fine with 2 clear dates, king's ordinal II and mintmark P, but most important part is the clear V/C over-assayer, which is well known in 8R from the Consolacion (1681) but this is the first time we have seen it on a 1R, off-center and partially flat but pleasingly turnip-shaped.
