Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1649Z, bold full date (rare), no countermark (even rarer!). S-P34; KM-19a; CT-508. 26.4 grams. All 4 digits of the date are complete and clear, as is the king's ordinal IIII, and the coin appears to be uncorroded but is poorly struck, with lots of flat areas (also the cross is doubled), dark sediment on fields. Recovered from: Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador
