Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, billon (silver/copper) 11 maravedis, Charles-Joanna, assayer F, extremely rare. 2.8 grams. Very crudely made, but only 5 others known, and this one nearly unique with complete silver surfaces, in fact the first specimen ever offered at auction. Full legends highlighted by contrasting toning, the centers somewhat flat but with clear mintmark P-S on obverse and assayer F to left and denomination XI to right on reverse (an unpublished variety), the planchet thin and round, with part of edge bent, some surface pitting from salvage, really too difficult to grade accurately but clearly better than the photographed example in Estrella (1979).
