Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 16(29)T, denomination 8, large-dot borders. S-P26; KM-19a; CT-470. 26.49 grams. This coin is fun: Flanking the full but partially flat shield are a clear P-T with large T inexplicably overpunched with a small z to left and a full Arabic numeral 8 to right (which began in 1629) inside a border of large dots (which ended in 1629). The reverse shows a full but partially flat cross inside large-dot border with traces of the 16 of the date (only) visible. VF overall, non-toned, with small natural notch in edge.
