<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 24766128, member: 110226&quot;]That&#039;s a very nice coin with a nicely centered strike.&nbsp; The assayer is P with a small o above.&nbsp; This is a variety of the plain P assayer for this mint.&nbsp; That assayer, whose name is unknown, at least in Krause, held the office from 1619 to 1635, a very long period.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the date, it usually appears on the cross side from around 11 o&#039;clock to about 1 o&#039;clock, but it could be in another locations in the legend.&nbsp; On your coin, based on the photo, looking at the top of the cross side, going left to right, I think I see a 1 (a curved 1 typical for this mint), a 6 and possibly a 2.&nbsp; The final numeral is a tough one to decipher, but it might be another curved 1, making the date 1621.&nbsp; That last numeral is a guess on my part, but it might be correct.&nbsp; That would make your coin KM 36.3, with a value of $225 in Fine.&nbsp; For VF KM lists it at $400.</p><p><br /></p><p>I outlined what I think is the date on your coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584264[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind though, that the KM values are generally out of date, so you may want to check other coin listings and auction results.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW what is the weight of your coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a Toledo 4 reales from my collection.&nbsp; This is an earlier assayer, C, and the date is (16)11.&nbsp; As you can see the cross side has a die shift strike, muddling up the legend as so often occurs.&nbsp; Still, part of the date, the last two numerals &quot;11&quot; can be seen from around 4 o&#039;clock to about 5 o&#039;clock.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin weighs a hefty 14.0 grams, above the 13.5 grams standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584262[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
