BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1650 (Spanish 5) O, with crown-alone countermark on shield. S-P35; KM-19b; Cal-1488. 22.15 grams. Nice, broad piece with much bold detail, clear date plus full shield and cross, the latter with an interesting error showing an incuse impression of the countermark's border on the cross transferred during countermarking either over another countermarked cob or an anvil die accidentally hit with the countermark punch, saltwater corrosion mainly confined to the outer edges, long edge-crack (as made) going through the date. Recovered from: Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island
