Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1686 R, rare. S-L7; KM-R24; Cal-579. 26.63 grams. Very broad flan with choice full inner details and crowns, plus nearly full legends (at least the bottom of every letter), in fact much better than either of the examples in Lazaro (#2 and #3, R2 and R3 respectively), neither of which is an exact match with the present piece (note in particular the crown above the pillars), VF with black toning in crevices for great contrast, lightly gilt at one point but no traces of gold color left, surely also holed and plugged at top of cross as well but professionally repaired to the point that the plug is no longer visible.
