Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1651E/O, with crowned script-P countermark (rare) on cross side. S-P36, KM-19b, CT-512. 28.2 grams. Big round flan with full countermark on cross that at first looks like the Greek letter phi (?) but is rendered that way because of under-details, full but somewhat weak cross and shield, bold P-E to left and 8-E/O to right, full but weak date, king's ordinal IIII, doubled crown, no corrosion and actually OVERweight. Pedigreed to the Louis Hudson collection. Recovered from: Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island
