Bolivia Philip V "Royal" 8 Reales 1729 P-M AU53 NGC,

Bolivia
Philip V "Royal" 8 Reales 1729 P-M AU53 NGC, Potosi mint, KM-R31A, Cal-1498, Lazaro-276. 27.05gm. Among the finest of these highly coveted "galano" issues, and while a bit later in the series, is wholly appreciable when encountered in anything outside of XF and straight graded. Boasting impressive depth rendered to the gunmetal and dove-gray toned surfaces and laudably bold in its striking, the issue at hand endures as an impressive survivor. Notably lacking a piercing for suspension which so many of this type succumbed to, we expect the current representative to peak the interest of the quality-conscious collector.

Ex. Cayón Numismática (July 2016, Lot 924)
