Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales "quasi-Royal," 1685R, unique. S-L7; KM-unl. (cf. R24); CT-unl. (Type 66). 26.32 grams. Exceptionally broad flan (but not perfectly round) with full, evenly struck and very choice interior details and nearly full legends, nearly aligned axis, richly toned XF+ with inconspicuously plugged hole at bottom. This is a lovely coin, like most Royals, but it is not listed in Lazaro, and the off-center cross side combined with its non-round flan make most experts state that it is not, in fact, a Royal striking, albeit with very few other Charles II Lima 8R Royals for comparison (some of which are worse than this coin). Pedigreed to our Auction #15, with original lot-tag #858.
