BOLIVIA. "Royal" Presentation Cob 8 Reales, 1692-P VR. Potosi Mint, Assayer Pedro de Villar (VR). Charles II. NGC AU Details--Holed. KM-R26; Lazaro-230 (same dies); Cal-688. Weight: 26.55 gms. The single finest certified of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, despite being in a details holder. This beautifully preserved late date Charles II Royal exhibits boldly struck devices with minor doubling on the reverse struck on a somewhat compact round flan. Rich old cabinet patina with hints of luster in the protected areas of the cross offers much originality and a pleasing appearance. A small hole at 12 oclock of the obverse as is commonly encountered on these issues, but is hardly a distraction on this high grade rarity. Despite its shortcomings this wholesome looking and very attractive survivor has much to offer and is in <strong>EXTREMELY</strong> <strong>RARE</strong> state of preservation sure to excite many collectors. From the Pat Johnson Collection.<p>Ex: Paul Karon Collection (Ponterio 3/90) Lot # 167.
