Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1652E post-transitional (transitional Type VIII/B), 1-PH-6 at top, two-digit date (very rare variety), from the Capitana (1654), ex-McClung. S-P37a; KM-21; CT-434. 20.39 grams. Small, thick flan due to edge corrosion (overall VF, with toned fields) but with very bold full pillars-and-waves and full cross with two-digit date 52 below, a unique variety that was suspected by Mastalir but not confirmed until this coin showed up just before publication of his book (hence its placement in the appendix). Pedigreed to the Roberto Mastalir collection, #VIII.a-B.ba.v(2)1 in his book (page 305), from the Capitana (1654), and pedigreed to the Rob McClung collection (our Auction #15, lot #514). ($500-750)
