Nicaragua (Leon), "imitation cob" 4 reales, 1823 P.M.P.Y., very rare. KM-16.1 (under Honduras). 8.6 grams. Crudely cast but with most important details visible, particularly the P.M.P.Y. (referring to the ostensibly random initials in the corners running clockwise starting at top left on the pillars side), the "pine tree" tops of the pillars, and the date above the waves and below the cross. See Carlos Jara's book Central American Provisional and Provincial Mints (2007) for more information about the attribution of this type to Leon.
