SPAIN, Madrid, cob ½ real, Philip IV, 1651, rare. Cal-551; KM-86.3. 2.01 grams. Bold upper half of cross with full 51 of date to left, full crown and monogram (distinctive style for this mint), attractively toned XF. This mint was barely making coins in this denomination when called upon to counteract the coin shortage caused by the Potosí mint scandal, the connection now becoming important to the greater American collector market.
