Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (1649?)O, with shield countermark (scarce) and rare crown-alone countermark, both on cross side, rare with two countermarks. S-P35. 24.1 grams. Perfectly uncorroded surfaces, with full crown and shield and cross, the countermarks right on top of each other and near the edge (hence the crown-alone mark not fully attributable but clearly not the common one with border of dots), a few old marks but nicely toned. Recovered from: Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador.
