Potosi, Bolivia, cob 4 reales Royal (galano), 1760Y-V-Y, extremely rare (unlisted), NGC VF details / edge filing. S-P56a; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 13.41 grams. Typically very thick, even but small-diameter flan with bold and well-centered strike (super deep in places) but no legends (the king therefore indeterminate, but believed to be Charles III based on assayer), the assayer at upper-right clearly a Y with V at lower left and Y to right of cross, contrary to subsequent issues with V-Y-V instead, probably unique as unlisted in any references (either as a date or a type), but also particularly rare and important as lacking a peripheral hole, the stated edge filing no more than a few old lines at top. Pedigreed to the Aureo auction of March 2013 (lot #219). NGC #5902427-008.
