Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (1650-1)O, with 2 countermarks on cross side (very rare): crowned L (?) and crowned T (rare). S-P35, KM-19b. 26.1 grams. Both countermarks rather pristine and well detailed but incomplete, good full cross and shield, virtually no corrosion but peripherally flat and not much contrast. Pedigreed to the Louis Hudson collection. Recovered from: Capitana (Jesús María de la Limpia Concepción), sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador
