A fully dated 1721 (the final digit a bit faint but discernible), half real. Dates on Mexican cobs are rare, and in terms of rare dates 1721 is very tough for this half real coinage, as the date is located far from the central design of the coin, to the left of the crown. Additionally this half real shows a full mintmark and partial Assayers mark “J”.
Guaranteed genuine.
With original coin slip, and lengthy notes.
