Lazaro, Jose Luis. LOS REDONDOS DE LIMA, MEJICO Y POTOSI Y OTRAS ACUNACIONES ESPECIALES. Jose Luis Lazaro Dominguez, Madrid. 1996. 8vo. 461, (3) pages. original brown leatherette, lettered in silver. First Edition. Limited edition, copy #546 of 1000 copies. B&w coin photos throughout. addenda booklet laid in. Spanish and English text. Fine. This book is a foundational reference for identifying and classifying some of the rarest and most prestigious Spanish colonial silver coins: the "redondos" (round) pieces of eight. Unlike the typical irregularly shaped "cobs" of the era, these special round strikes from the mints of Lima, Mexico City, and Potosí were often produced for specific ceremonies or as high-quality presentation pieces. The work provides essential technical data, historical context, and detailed illustrations that help collectors distinguish authentic specimens from common issues and understand the unique minting circumstances of these "special strikes". Lot weight: 3 lbs 1oz. Subject(s): Spanish American Coinage.
