Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (3rd period, crude style). S-P10; KM-5.1; CT-158. 27.41 grams. Choice bold details, including nearly full legends and crown, but all a bit doubled, with attractively toned fields, VF, minor edge-split, distinctive style of lions and castles. (Note: Paoletti calls this type Group B8 and places it within what we consider 5th period, possibly due to its box-like borders, but commas in the legends indicate an earlier period to us.)
Estimate: $250 - 375
