BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1732 YA, very rare, ex-Calbetó (Plate). S-P45; KM-31a; Cal-1566. 26.78 grams. Bold date and clear assayer within full pillars-and-waves, second date below cruder cross, Fine+ with flat areas and traces of surface oxidation, toned in crevices. This date is much rarer than 1733 for this assayer, but an abundance of high-quality cast counterfeits makes it seem otherwise. Plate Coin 1177 in Calbetó's Compendio de las piezas de ocho reales (1970) and pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of May 1987, lot 829 (one of two coins in lot).
