Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Philip V, assayer not visible, uncleaned "greenie" (encrusted with shell bits, as found). KM-47. 26.3 grams. Very interesting shape (impossible to describe), with just enough shield-side details showing to identify the king, the cross side loaded with encrustation and shells but also with natural pit (bubble in the metal) in center, very solid overall. From the Hurricane Jeanne find of 2004, with photo-certificate from the finder. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
