S-L1; KM-10.1; Cal-495. 13.56 grams. Very broad flan with 100% full legends (the metal extending past the outer border in places), flat crown but bold full interiors with just a hint of doubling on the shield, elegantly toned all over, somewhat rare as straight-graded, just a lovely old coin with a very natural, uncleaned aspect and excellent pedigree. Pedigreed to the Sellschopp Collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1988, lot 2) and Plate Coin 2 in his Las acuñaciones de las cecas de Lima, La Plata y Potosí (1971), also plated on page 48 of Grunthal-Sellschopp's The Coinage of Peru (1978).
