BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (late 3rd period), ex-Ponte. S-P10; KM-5.1; Cal-672. 25.92 grams. Broad flan that extends past the outer border above the excellent full crown, lots of legend including a full but doubled PHILIPPVS, nice full shield and cross despite minor flat areas, bold P-B, semi-lustrous AU. One of the hallmarks of late 3rd-period B is the presence of odd "half dots" (as opposed to earlier commas and later dots) as word-separators in the legends. Pedigreed to the Luis R. Ponte Collection.
