Lot of two Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Philip V, assayers not visible but style of 1714-15. S-M22; KM-47. 26.24 and 25.60 grams. Interesting pair in that both show new-style shield (1714 onward, one with distinctive dot over denomination) but only one has the new-style cross, and that cross also shows a "thumbprint" pattern (from scraping rust from a die, according to Alan Craig in Spanish Colonial Silver Coins in the Florida Collection [2000]), both solid with light surface corrosion only on the newer cross, patchy dark toning, good detail. Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
