Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (1640s), assayer not visible, with possible unofficial countermark at edge, rare. . 27.4 grams.Crude as usual for issue, with most of shield and well-detailed lion and castle, toned VF with flat areas and minor edge-split, but potentially valuable as showing a semicircular depression at the edge that looks like a contemporary but unofficial attempt to re-create an arms countermark.
