Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (164)5T, rare with full final digit of date. S-P30; KM-19a; CT-492. 27.1 grams. Despite being the commonest date of 8R in the 1640s prior to 1649, for some reason the 1645 invariably comes with the last digit almost entirely off the flan. This specimen is the opposite, as the 5 of the date is 100% complete, and the rest of the coin is superlative as well, with choice full shield and cross (the latter slightly doubled), full P•T and denomination •8•, much legend (including king's ordinal IIII), VF with faint toning on fields, a great coin for advanced research.
