BOLIVIA. Cob 8 Reales, 1725-P Y. Potosi Mint, Assayer Diego de Ybarbouro I(Y). Luis I. PCGS EF-40. KM-35; Cal-48; CJ-38.1.1; cf. Paoletti-366. Weight: 27.26 gms. Variety with reverse legend "L(V)IS*PR*(D*G*HISPA)"; Three-year type. The only certified example of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population report. This very interesting and RAREissue exhibits a somewhat crude strike on a typically irregular flan with three clear dates, partial legends and one Assayer's letter and mint mark. The surfaces display a pleasing medium gray tone with areas of richer coloration amongst the devices and minor encrustation on the reverse adding to its originality. This short lived issue has always been a collector favorite, especially so in this high state of preservation with so many identifying attributes. According to Freeman Craig, who cataloged the Paul Karon Collection of Potosi Cobs, "Style like the second 1724 above and much like the 1721 in this collection. With all three dates mostly bold, two 'Y' and two 'P' plus an unstudied '*ELP*' (for El Peru). However, what makes this example so extraordinary is the partially bold 'L((V))IS*PR*'. This first year of the Luis type is many times more elusive than the 1726 or 1727. This is the only non-royal 1725 we traced where the king is certain." Estimate: $700 - $1,000. Provenance: From the Pat Johnson Collection. Ex: Paul Karon Collection (Ponterio 42 - 3/1990) Lot # 214. Ex: Ernesto Sellschopp Collection (Swiss Bank Corp - 9/1988) Lot # 897.
