Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, (16)55P, "cabo de barra" flan (rare). 26.85 grams. Full final digit 5 of date and bold full oMP, full but partially weak shield and cross, no corrosion, toned in crevices, but perhaps most interesting feature is the fact that only one side is cut, the rest being the rounded end of the raw "strap" of silver used to make this and other planchets. With Marex tag #91-8R-2071. Recovered from: Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island
