Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Charles II, assayer not visible, 4R-sized cross. 13.9 grams. At first glance this coin appears to be the size of a 4 reales, with weight to match, but the shield is too big and the planchet is too thick, hence it is a corroded-down 8R with 4R cross die (stranger things have happened)! Nice detail on one castle, good toning. With 2 certificates from salvagers Hiron & Heslin.
