Denomination set of four Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8, 4, 2 and 1 reales (1698F, 1702Y, 1688VR and 1690VR respectively), ex-Bowers and Ruddy (1977). 43.19 grams total. Very hard-to-replicate Potosi denomination (short) set from this wreck, all with clear dates, the 8R with bold full pillars-and-waves, the 4R choice (no corrosion), the 2R and 1R both thin but with both sides full (the 1R an interesting shape), all toned, with a classic provenance to boot. Pedigreed to the Bowers and Ruddy auction of February 1977 (lot #5681), with catalog for that auction and original invoice. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
