Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Charles II, assayer not visible, very odd shape. KM-46. 24.5 grams. More than anything else this coin resembles a sitting camel or llama, and it was made that way naturally at the mint, with a hole added later for an eye and for wearing on a strap, which over the centuries wore some channels to the edge, the details minimal and very worn (Good) but attributable, also with number 64(?) scratched into the surface above the cross long ago. Pedigreed to the Mark Bir collection.
