Thinner than usual but with very bold partial tax stamp showing (HIS)PANI, dark in crevices for good contrast, cut from the rounded edge of the original ingot, well circulated in its time (1500s) as a 4 reales. Pedigreed to the Luis R. Ponte Collection and Sedwick Auction 18, with original lot-tag 243, and plated on page 23 of Agustín García-Barneche's The "Tumbaga" Saga, 2nd ed. (2018).
