Potosi, Bolivia, cob 1 real, Philip II, assayer R (Rincon) to right, reverse die-match with known La Plata issues. S-P1; KM-2.2; CT-638. 3.1 grams. Very interesting coin for study, as the cross side is from the same die as the known La Plata issues (see lot 877 of our Treasure Auction #6) yet the shield side shows P-R (but clearly not R/X and not a die-match for the known X issues anyway) to RIGHT, possibly further support to the theory that Rincon moved the P-R to the left in this denomination for the La Plata issues only, well-detailed but slightly crude AVF with particularly nice crown, crude square hole at edge.
