Potosi, Bolivia, cob 4 reales, 1619T (rare in this denomination), Grade-1 quality but Grade 3 on the certificate (unofficial replacement), with original tag. 13.46 grams. Odd-shaped flan with bold full P+T, full date and king's name PHYLYPVS in legend, full shield and cross despite some weak areas, no corrosion (full weight). While this date is common in 8R, it is apparently rare in 4R, as this is only the second specimen we have handled.
