España. Extremely rare cob treasure. Lot of 4 cob coins (3 x 8 Reales, 1 x 4 Reales), 17th century. Provenance: Found during the construction of the Radio Tower in Male, Maldives

Extremely rare cob treasure find during construction work on the Radio Tower in male, Maldives. The radio tower in Malé, Maldives, commonly known as the Maldives National Broadcasting Corporation (MNBC) radio tower, was constructed in 1984. During construction of the Radio Tower, 4 cobs were found in a cob treasure. I’ve managed to buy these 4 cobs from someone who was directly tied to construction of the Tower and have held them ever since.

Normally these cobs come with heavy wear for sea salvage, but these don’t since they have been buried for a long time. These are extremely rare to find with no sea water corrosion!
