All items are genuine unless noted. Most shipwreck coins and artifacts come with a certificate of authenticity (please check the description for each item).
Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (1651-2)E, with 2 crowned-T countermarks (rare) and one crowned-L countermark, all on the cross side, extremely rare with 3 countermarks. S-P36. 26.5 grams. Specimens with 2 countermarks are rare enough; those with 3 countermarks are almost never seen, this one with 2 assayers, bold king's ordinal IIII, and all 3 countermarks clear, some flat spots but minimal corrosion, lacking only the date to give it an exceptional premium. Recovered from: Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador.
