Recreated with perfect accuracy and attention to detail. Directly modeled after an original of the same date and type. This is one of our longest running, and most popular "treasure cobs". These coins combined the two most popular designs of Spanish cobs, the pillars and cross! The obverse with cross, quartered by castles and lions, with denomination, date mint and assayer marks inside the four arches of a barbed quatrefoil. The reverse with the pillars rising up out of the waves, with motto "PLVS VLTRA" across, denomination date and arrangement of mint and assayer marks. The assayer's mark here, as a monogramed "VR" for Pedro de Villar, while the P (at that point in time) referred to Potosi, Peru.
Each coin is produced exactly the same as the originals. Because of this process, each coin will vary in shape size and appearance, so that no two of these are ever the same in shape, size or strike - meaning that your bullion coin will be unique to only you. Also note that because of this process, we ask that you please allow for slight variation in each piece. If you have wishes or demands, just add them to the notes in your order. IE "Rounder coin", "chunky coin", "off-set strike", "doubled-strike" etc.
Photos provided are an example of how the average coins look with a sharp strike and aged look.
"šøššš" means that the coin comes with the typical silver luster, where "š¬ššš" means we add a patina to the finished coin to give it a look of being old. "š¬š š¾ššššš" means that the blank planchet is placed upon the dies without any care given to where, or what will be embossed when struck. This is a good option for those wishing for a reproduction more true to the originals, as the originals where struck this way. "šÆšššš" means that the coin will show two, or more dates.
"ššššš šøšššš" reproductions are struck in a lead free, "pewter". These are ideal for museum display, props, etc.
