Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales, "Star of Lima" type, (1660)V, very rare, Seliger Plate Coin.S-L5; KM-18.2; Cal-1242.19.06 grams.Very bold full cross, bold full pillars with huge full crown above, L-8-V to either side and PLVS-star-VLTRA in center, an elusive type without date but dated to 1660 because of similarity of style with (presumably) subsequent issues that replace the waves at bottom with date in three digits, deeply toned fields that distract nicely from the moderate surface corrosion (also struck slightly off-center), overall one of the top coins from this wreck.Plate Coin on page 101 of William Seliger's book Isla El Muerto and the Treasures of the Consolacion (2008), with ROBCAR tag and photo-certificate #M20120.Recovered from: Lima

Estimate: 800-1200 USD
