SPAIN, Granada, cob ½ real, Philip IV, (1651) N, very rare. Cal-544; KM-86.1. 1.19 grams. Full monogram with bold G-N below, also full but off-center cross, toned XF+ with light surface corrosion. This is a very rare one-year type, the Granada mint one of several specifically put back into service in 1651 to alleviate silver coinage shortage due to the Potosí mint scandal. The rarity and importance of these mainland cobs are just beginning to become evident in the American market, this specific issue touted in Spain as "two known" even though the reference books give it values in several grades.
