Potosi, Bolivia, cob 4 reales, 1679/8 C/E, unique. S-P38; KM-unl (25 for type); Cal-unl. 13.37 grams. Doubled pillars with bold date showing clear 9/8 over full waves and clear C/E at top right, also with full but slightly off-center cross, this is the famous E-to-C discovery coin that we sold twice already (Auctions 18 [2013] and 31 [2021]), with no others coming to light in the meantime (note, however, that Paoletti published what seems to be a clearly clean-date 1679 C/E 4R courtesy of Stephen Burrington in 2016). VF with flat areas, some nice toning, one edge-crack.
