MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 8 reales, Philip V, assayer J, struck with 4 reales dies (style of 1714-24) in error. S-M22; KM-47; Cal-Type 170. 24.64 grams. Dark and corroded yet partially dated 172(?) and, even more importantly, struck with 4 reales dies as the denomination 4 shows clearly to the right of the shield, a rare error overall but much more so coming from this wreck (only the second we have offered). Recovered from: Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Norway
