BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1657 E, 657 between pillars, 57 below cross, pomegranate above, with Guatemala sun-over-mountains countermark (Type II, 1839) on cross, rare, NGC VF details / holed, tooled (c/s XF standard). S-P37a; KM-R21; Cal-1422. 26.18 grams. Particularly fine style of Royal with smaller central elements (1R-sized punches for dates and assayer E to right of cross, for example) and more legend as a result (100% full details, no doubling or flatness), also with fancy, leafy pomegranate (versus the previous PH) below crown at top of pillars, deeply toned, with full countermark in bottom-left quadrant of cross, crudely holed at right end, the cross side a die-match with Lázaro-153 but the pillars side apparently unrecorded (despite the appearance of four other pillars sides in Lázaro).
