Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1644, assayer not visible, late-style lions, rare. KM-19a. 25.16 grams. Unlike the previous two lots of the same date (of which all four digits are full on this coin), the lions in the quadrants of the cross are of the "furry" type that began in this year and alternated with the earlier design at least through 1646. The present coin bears a nearly full shield and cross, AVF with some luster, but very crude in the peripheries, including a natural interior crack.
