Potosi, Bolivia, cob 1 real, Philip II, assayer L/erasure to left, rare. S-P3; KM-2.2; Cal-240. 2.94 grams. Broad-flan VF with nice toning, full crown (with lower loop) and much legend (HISP-), bold P-L with tiny mintmark and the L punched over a partially erased letter that looks like M but could be B (obverse die-match with Sellschopp #60), well-detailed full shield and cross ("Seville" lions, the reverse a die-match with lot 549 of the Galerie des Monnaies auction of February 1982), with tiny hole near edge and some light tooling under the toning, inexplicably underweight. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection.
