BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 8 Reales, 1675-P E. Potosi Mint, Assayer Antonia de Ergueta (E). Charles II. NGC VF Details--Plugged. KM-R26; Lazaro-193 (same dies); Cal-671. Weight: 26.11 gms. The only certified example on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. <strong>EXTREMELY</strong> <strong>RARE</strong> and attractive, this handsome survivor exhibits boldly struck devices with minor doubling on both sides, both dates on the obverse are clear while the date on the reverse is slight obscured. Evenly worn with minor earthen deposits and mottled gray and slate patina offers a pleasing appearance for this piece. Close inspection reveals a skillfully repaired hole in the center of the "O" of "ANO", long since toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings this desirable example is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters. From the Pat Johnson Collection.
