Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1647P/T, unique. S-P33, KM-19a. 27.9 grams. For the advanced Potosí 8 reales collector, this coin shows an exceptionally clear 47 date and bold assayer P punched over a faint T, typically very crude but full shield and cross (much doubling and flatness), lightly toned Fine, with odd triangular punchmark in middle of cross. Note that assayer P for this period was totally unknown until just a few years ago, and this is the only specimen known to us with clear date.
