Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1652E transitional Type I/A, rare. S-P37. 12.5 grams. Big flan originally but with nearly half of it corroded away, still with details quite clear (52 date, king's ordinal IIII, denomination 8, one good pillar and castle), probably a chance to get an acknowledged rarity for a very low price. Recovered from: Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador.
