PERU, Lima, cob 8 reales, 1660 V, date below VLTRA, reverse legend rotated 90 degrees clockwise, very rare, ex-Ponte. S-L5; KM-18.2; Cal-1250. 27.63 grams. Low-contrast VF+ with nice natural surfaces, lightly toned, with full crown and pillars showing clear L-8-V on both sides but only the very top tips of the date below (flat peripheries), also full cross with hint of doubling but just enough legend to see that the legend starts and ends past the right arm of the cross, hence a different variety from the previous lot. Pedigreed to the Luis R. Ponte Collection and to the Christensen auction of December 1982 (lot 1043).
