Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales presentation strike, 1658E. S-P37a. 26.4 grams. While not perfectly round nor a match with any known "Royals," this coin exhibits unusual evenness of strike and flan for its period, with nearly full legends surrounding full and well-detailed inner data, very slightly doubled, 3 dates, no corrosion but a couple small flat spots, nicely toned on fields. Recovered from: San Miguel el Arcangel ("Jupiter wreck"), sunk in 1659 off the east coast of Florida.
