Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, (1)625P, date at 2-3 o'clock, quadrants of cross transposed, extremely rare. S-P23; KM-14a; CT-unl. 6.60 grams. The 1625 date from the Potosi mint has been a bit of a red herring, for practically none of the proposed specimens has been clear enough to confirm… until now! This coin shows a very bold full 25 date, albeit in a strange place (rotated about 90 degrees from usual), outside a nearly full cross, with weak but certain assayer to left of full shield on the other side, About Fine for wear, sure to draw interest from the advanced Potosi collectors that all surely lack this date.
