Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer L (1st period), reverse struck with 1R die (unique error). 6.69 grams. Choice full shield with bold full P-L (the L probably punched over an erased M or even R), full king's name in legend, but most interesting feature is the 100% complete cross side due to striking with a 1R die, resulting in the flan extending past the outer border of dots and showing all the letters of the legend, which were haphazardly punched with big spaces between some and no space between others, VF+ with contrasting toning.
