Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1650O, with crowned (?) on cross side, choice. S-P35, KM-19b, CT-509. 23.3 grams. Huge flan with full and well-detailed interiors and much legend, like PHELIPVS IIIII (due to double-strike) and 1650 date, also P-O and 8-O flanking the beautiful shield, but the countermark in the center of the cross incomplete and the surfaces lightly corroded. Pedigreed to the Louis Hudson collection. Recovered from: Capitana (Jesús María de la Limpia Concepción), sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador
