Mexico City, Mexico, cob 1/2 real, Philip II, assayer o (small O) to right, mintmark oM to left, no globes at ends of cross, no king's ordinal, unique, NGC VF 35, finest and only example in NGC census. S-M11; KM-20; Cal-126. 1.63 grams. One of very few Mexican cobs without the usual globe-tipped cross (full and choice on this example), also with atypical assayer-mark (o instead of O) to right and lacking the king's ordinal with legend as PHILIPPVS.D.G.HIS / ET INDIARVM REX E (only the cross variety noted on label), full mintmark oM to left, full crown, nicely toned all over.
