Potosi, Bolivia, cob 4 reales Royal (galano), 1727Y, Louis I, extremely rare (unlisted), NGC XF details / holed, mount removed, ex-Karon. S-P43b; KM-RA35; Cal-unl (Type 2). 13.01 grams. Typically thick, small-diameter flan with no visible legends, the inner details very bold and well centered, with deep, attractive toning, holed at bottom of cross / bottom of left pillar and with old solder-mark at top of cross from removal of mount. Best we can tell, this piece is unique, and strangely it is unlisted in references despite the fact that it has been known about since it appeared in the Paul Karon sale in 1990, Calico perhaps mistaking it for 1727/6, which comparison with the above lot (lot 631) proves this is not. Pedigreed to the Paul Karon collection (Ponterio auction of March 1990, lot #410). NGC #5902427-007.
