Complete Potosi cob denomination set of 8, 4, 2, 1, and 1/2 reales (only one ever available from this wreck), as follows: 8R 1679C, 4R 1678E, 2R 1674E, 1R 1664E, and 1/2R 1674. 27.9, 11.6, 7.1, 2.7 and 1.3 grams. This wreck did not yield many coins, and only one 4R was found, hence this complete denomination set is the only one possible, and it is composed of rather nice specimens too (all attractively toned, some actually overweight): 8R with full cross and pillars, no corrosion; 4R with bold cross and pillars, weak date, minimal corrosion; 2R with nice pillars-and-waves, 2 dates, lightly corroded; 1R with choice pillars-and-waves, some wear but no corrosion; 1/2R with full monogram and cross, clear date, no corrosion. Recovered from: 1681 Fleet off Panama (Boticaria site)
