Potosi, Bolivia, cob 4 reales, 1669E, ex-Bir collection. S-P37b; KM-25; CT-494. 13.24 grams. Much flatness but with clear date and decent pillars and cross, deeply toned all over (not completely cleaned), very light surface corrosion, the accompanying tag spuriously identifying the wreck as the Senorita de Santa Cristina (never proven, also wrong place and time). Pedigreed to the Mark Bir collection, with his tag, and also to our Auction #8, with original lot-tag #626.Recovered from: Unidentified ca.-1671 wreck in Seville harbor, Spain
