- Interesting Over Assayer's Letter "Z/P" BOLIVIA. Cob 4 Reales, 1649-P Z/P. Potosi Mint, Assayer Pedro Zambrano (Z). Philip IV. PCGS EF-40. KM-4.2; Cal-525; CJ-2.9.2; cf. Paoletti-Group B8/A#104 (identical lion's on reverse). Weight: 13.51 gms. Dog like composite lions variety. This charming example, struck on a somewhat compact planchet, exhibits a bold central strike with complete crown, mint mark, Assayer's letter, denomination and shield on the obverse. A few minor aspects of the legends are clear, but most letters are off the flan on both sides. The strong design features on the reverse, with minimal doubling, include a complete cross and bold castles and lions, while the octolobe displays a couple of flat spots. The surfaces do exhibit a slight granularity and minor encrustation due to salt water immersion, but is quite wholesome and attractive. Despite its shortcomings this handsome survivor offers a pleasing appearance and when compared to other examples from the Atocha would most likely be assigned to the category Grade 1. Estimate: $1,500 - $2,500. Provenance: From the Pat Johnson Collection. Ex: Ernesto Sellschopp Collection (Swiss Bank Corp - 9/1988) Lot # 690.
