SPAIN, Madrid, cob 4 reales, Philip IV, 1651, assayer /\, unique. Cal-unl (Type 269); KM-132.3. 13.83 grams. Lustrous AU with well-detailed and well-centered full shield showing bold assayer to left appearing as an A without crossbar (unlisted in references, but we note that /\ over IB is listed for 1650/49), bold full cross (off-center) with complete 51 of date visible, no toning except for a couple dark spots. Like the previous lots, this was struck during the brief increase in production at Madrid to counteract a coinage shortage due to the Potosí mint scandal, this example exceptional for its detail and preservation.
