Potosí, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, Philip II, P-R (Rincón) to left, choice, Plate Coin in Research Collection catalog. S-P1, KM-3.2, CT-485 (under Lima). 6.6 grams. Typically choice detail all over (but a very atypical coin for the Atocha!), particularly the full shield and cross and crown, also bold P-R and much legend, attractively toned, truly one of the choicest coins we have ever seen from this wreck and additionally desirable as the first issue struck at this mint. Pedigreed to the Research Collection, with special Fisher photo-certificate #85A-236076, Plate Coin #15. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
