Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1648R, extremely rare. S-P31; KM-19a; CT-unl. 27.54 grams. Probably the finest example known for this assayer, for the P-dot-R and date are 100% full and clear, with choice full shield (slightly doubled) and cross as well, bold king's ordinal IIII, nicely toned VF+. As stated in the previous lot, this assayer was ultimately put to death for his role in the debasement scandal at the Potosi mint.
