PERU, Lima, pillar 1 real, Charles III, 1769 JM, mintmark not dotted, very rare, ex-O'Brien. Yonaka-1R.69; Cal-352; KM-61. 3.18 grams. Nicely toned VF with old diagonal scratches on pillars side, natural flaw to left of crown above shield, slightly off-center strike, an "overall rare date" rated R3 in Yonaka. Curiously, while both crowns are royal and not imperial, the right crown lacks the central spike, perhaps causing confusion in Gilboy, who asserted a dissimilar-crowns variety existed. Pedigreed to the John O'Brien Collection, with his tag.
