Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (1650-1)O, with crowned (?) countermark on shield side. S-P35, KM-19b. 23.4 grams. Nice full cross, full but weak shield, bold P-O, oddly oblong planchet, lightly corroded, the crown of the countermark full and well detailed but the space below it trumped by the host coin's details. Recovered from: Capitana (Jesús María de la Limpia Concepción), sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador
