This specimen was lot 71149 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, November 2022), where it sold for $408. The catalog description[1] noted, "BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1685-P. Potosi Mint; Assayer Pedro de Villar (VR). Charles II. PCGS Genuine--Environmental Damage, EF Details. This cob features spots of corrosive patination, accounting for its grade. On the other hand, the coin offers a wealth of detail. Its obverse displays two mintmarks, the assayer's monogram, a bold denomination, and two highly legible dates. The reverse shows another mintmark, part of the monogram, and another complete date. Overall quite attractive and generously complete; not to be overlooked on account of its details designation. From the Pat Johnson Collection. Ex. Kagin's 1983 ANA sale (08/1983), lot # 1214." This type was struck in the name of the degenerate Charles II 1667-1700.
