BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1715 Y, rare, NGC VF details / edge filing. S-P43a; KM-R31; Cal-1487. 27.75 grams. Rather broad flan for this period with complete legends and choice interior details exhibiting a minimum of the doubling that typically plagues this type, beautiful contrasting toning on fields, very rare as unholed (hence the NGC "details" grade is a bit unfair, especially considering the "edge filing" is limited to a few old striations that exist on nearly all Royals anyway, and in both of their offerings of this coin the Ponterios said nothing about filing), die-match with Lázaro 259 (rated R2). Pedigreed to the Ponterio auctions of December 1986 (lot 474) and March 1995 (lot 1130).
