Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales, "Star of Lima" type, 1660V (Series III), encapsulated NGC VF 25, very rare. 27.2 grams. Full but typically double-struck inner details (pillars with PLVS / • star • / VLTRA above date inside, denomination-assayer 8-V to either side) but no legends visible, nicely toned all over, minor edge-split, far rarer than the 1659 in this brief and famously unauthorized mintage.
