BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1772 V-VY-V/VY, unique, ex-Portolà, ex-Mastalir. S-P59; KM-unl (45 for type); Cal-unl (Type 109). 26.87 grams. A choice coin for the period (typically chunky) with bold date between full pillars showing a surprisingly clear VY double assayer at bottom left, full V at top right, plus V punched over VY to right of excellent full cross, the first and only example we have seen with both assayers side-by-side in the same place, richly toned VF+. Pedigreed to the Gaspar de Portolà Collection (Aureo & Calicó auction of October 2019, lot 244) and to the Roberto Mastalir Collection, with his tag.
