Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1715 J, rare, NGC AU details / plugged, whizzed. S-M22; KM-R47; Cal-1368. 26.65 grams. Typically round and evenly struck, with all details full and technically high grade, patchy light toning on fields, the crown and ornament on top of reverse (medal-aligned) recreated after plugging the inevitable hole (still faintly visible), one of only a handful of 1715's known (die-match with Lazaro #70, R3), all quite elegant and impressive and sure to be popular with 1715-Fleet enthusiasts. NGC #5961187-001.
