BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1732 M, unique, NGC AU details / plugged, finest and only example in NGC census. S-P44; KM-unl (R31a for type); Cal-unl (Type 174). 26.83 grams. Beautiful full strike that includes some legend (rarely seen on later dates), practically no doubling or weakness, with choice contrasting toning all over, the stated plugged hole at top of cross so well repaired as to be virtually undetectable, this date unknown and unrecorded until this specimen first appeared in 2007 (with hole). As mentioned in lot 1065 above, the Potosí 8R Royals of 1715-32 show "condors" for ornaments in the legends, rarely seen in the smaller-diameter coins but here rather bold flanking the crown and after the full word POTOSI.
