Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, P-B (3rd period), possibly finest known. S-P10, KM-5.1. 27.2 grams. This is the most terrific example of 3rd-period B we have ever seen (the specific die variety apparently missing in Sellschopp and Paoletti), with unusually broad flan containing nearly full legends, choice full crown, gorgeous full shield and cross, very bold P-B, lovely toning, XF for wear. Pedigreed to the Mark Bir collection.
