BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1734 E, cut down to North African (Barbary) standard. S-P46; KM-31a; Cal-1569. 15.76 grams. In circulation along the Barbary coast of North Africa there was a 15- to 16-gram silver coin known as a "30 para," minted in Tripoli in 1773, that could have been linked to cut-down cobs like this one. Bust 8R cut down to this weight are also known. VF with bold date between pillars, second date visible under nearly complete cross, steely gray-toned surfaces with a little sedimentation in the crevices.
