Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, 1692VR, extremely rare provenance. S-P40; KM-24; CT-623. 5.7 grams. Choice full pillars with complete interior details, nearly full but somewhat crude cross, attractive shape and beautifully toned, but best aspect is its certified provenance, which is probably the same ca.-1700 wreck off Punta Santa Elena that has produced 8R and even Cuzco 2E cobs. With photo-certificate from the conservator (Joel Ruth). Recovered from: Aguila Volante, sunk in 1701 off Punta Santa Elena, Ecuador
