Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales Royal, 1685R, unique. S-L7; KM-unl. (cf. R24); CT-unl. (Type 66). 26.32 grams. Exceptionally broad flan (not perfectly round) with full and choice interior details and most of the legends visible, richly toned XF, axes almost aligned, with inconspicuously plugged hole at bottom. This coin is not only lovely, like most Royals, but is also the only specimen of this date recorded so far (missing in Lazaro) and among very few known for the type (Lima Charles II).
