This specimen was lot 2055 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2022), where it sold for $204,000. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"Magnificent Royal of Charles II, [[Mexico|MEXICO]]. "Royal" Presentation Cob 8 Reales, 1699/8-Mo L. Mexico City Mint, Assayer Manuel de Leon (L). Charles II. NGC AU-58. The only certified example of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. Bold and beautiful, this impressive representative features an outstanding strike with a minor shift in the legends. Rich and attractive gray patina evenly covers the surfaces and all the design elements are fully struck up. This awesome example is beautifully preserved and is about as nice as one could hope to find in a silver issue. Truly a remarkable piece from a ruler whose coinage is notoriously crude and bar far the worst production quality of colonial Mexico. From the Pat Johnson Collection. Ex: FCC Boyd Collection. Ex: Guttag Brothers Collection."</blockquote> This specimen is a silver cob eight reales struck at Mexico City 1666-1700. In 1728, cobs were debased from .931 to .917 fine silver. Round "royals" are known but all are rare, rarer than the equivalent Bolivian royals.
