Watch List notes:

Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales presentation strike, 1659V, assayer to left, denomination to right (Series IA), ex-"Jupiter wreck." S-L5; KM-18.1; CT-262. 23.10 grams. Round and almost fully detailed but with light to moderate surface corrosion (bold AU overall, with deep toning) and very slight doubling on the pillars side, still very clearly a presentation piece of some sort due to the quality of the flan and the strike, quite attractive overall. From the "Jupiter wreck" (San Miguel el Arcangel, 1659), and pedigreed to our Auction #16 (lot #493). (Estimate: $1750 - 2500)
