Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1629 T, denomination 8, heavy-dot borders, NGC AU 55. S-P26; KM-19a; Cal-1454. 26.97 grams. Bold full 29 of date outside of full but off-center cross, the shield also full and well detailed, with bold P-dot-T to left and denomination dot-8-dot to right, nearly full crown, lightly brown-toned all over. This scarce variety shows the transition between the heavier style of <1629 and the finer style of 1629+, as the borders contain big dots but the denomination has already been changed from o-VIII to 8 (open at top left). NGC #6272344-010. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of June 1993, with original lot-tag 702.
