Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, (1652)E transitional, McLean Type I, rare. S-P37; KM-A16.2; CT-894. 3.01 grams. Bold pillars with clear "2 over 2" denominations on that side, the shield side somewhat corroded and the whole piece somewhat thin but seems like a 1R flan to begin with, in any case the first specimen we have seen from this wreck. With (generic) certificate from the salvager. Recovered from: Joanna, sunk in 1682 off South Africa
