Type-set of Mexico City, Mexico, 8 reales dated 1733, consisting of 1 cob, 1 klippe on a cob-style planchet, 1 true klippe and 1 pillar dollar (4 coins total), housed in a hinged glass-top display case with labels. 6" x 9" x 3" altogether. This is a beautiful set, both for its promotional packaging and for the quality of the coins inside, all hand-selected from the original Ponterio auction, and all attractively toned with little or no corrosion (VF-XF details). The full-date 1733 cob is particularly choice and rare, in fact the only specimen known so far from this wreck. With certificate. Recovered from: Rooswijk, sunk in 1739 off southeast England
