Reverse: Crowned pillars over waves. Choice strike on excellent metal. On very spacious, round flan. Three dates visible. Large and impressive. Extremely Rare. NGC graded EF-45. Charles II, the last of the Spanish Habsburg kings, was weak, both physically and mentally. His mother, Mariana of Austria, served as regent for him during his minority and continued to rule after his accession to the throne. Her favoritism for Austria aroused opposition and she was forced into exile in 1677 by Charles' illegimitate brother, John of Austria. Spain continued to lose its military power and suffered a severe decline in its economy, society, and intellectual life. Spanish nobles and the clergy gained political power and were granted tax exemptions, which placed a greater burden on industry and agriculture, causing an increase in emigration. Charles had no children and named Philip of Anjou, Louis XIV's grandson, as his heir. Philip's succession, as Philip V, provoked the War of Spanish Succession (1702-1713). The war was really about maintaining the balance of power in Europe. The English, the Dutch and others did not want France to become more powerful. They feared losing valuable commercial opportunities if the French controlled Spanish possessions in America. The war ended with the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, by which Philip was recognized as king of Spain, but Spain had lost Gibraltar to England and Spain's Italian possessions and the Netherlands were given up to Austria. The treaty brought three decades of peace between the English and French. Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000. Ex: Irigoyem Collection. Ex Millennia, Lot 937.

Lot 3197		Bolivia. "Royal" 8 Reales, 1727 P-Y (Potosi). WR-10; KM-R35. 26.87 grams. Louis I, 1724. Crowned Cross of Jerusalem, quartering arms of Castille and Leon, all in quadrilobe. Reverse: Crowned pillars over waves. Well struck and centered, on small flan of excellent metal. Flan nice and round. Three dates visible. Legends nearly completely visible, and rare thus. A very handsome "Royal" of itself, let alone for this ephemeral king too. Extremely Rare - the rarest of all the Spanish kings. NGC graded MS-61. Philip V, the first Bourbon king of Spain, abdicated his throne in favor of his son Louis I in 1724. Unfortunately, young king Louis died the same year after a reign of only 7 months, with Philip resuming rule once more. Louis' coins are the Classic Rarity of the the vast Imperial Spanish coinages, even though the Potosi mint struck cobs in his name from 1725 to 1727. Mexico, the only other country to issue in his name, struck 8 Reales of the earlier type from 1724 to1725. To date, this is the finest 8 Reales of Louis I (Note: the holed example in Krause, p. 57, realized $30,000 in a Ponterio sale in the late 80's or early 90's). Estimated Value $70,000 - 80,000.

Minted from 1751-1758, less than 10 examples are known of all dates. NGC graded AU-58. Pillar Dollars were minted at various mints throughout the Americas. For those collectors trying to find a Pillar Dollar from each mint, Santiago is a major stumbling block. The Spanish colony of Chile was somewhat a forgotten stepchild, due to its relative inaccessability. Travelling overland was through harsh deserts, and travelling by sea required the long and dangerous voyage around Cape Horn. Estimated Value $40,000 - 50,000.
