Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, (1652)E transitional Type IV/A. S-P37; KM-A20.4; CT-432. 25.78 grams. Totally unique die variety with P instead of F at upper left, on a solid flan with full pillars detail (nice crown) but off-center and lightly corroded shield, deeply toned all over. Mastalir devoted an entire page in his book to show the P on this coin and its importance. Pedigreed to the Roberto Mastalir collection, #IV.2-A.ed(1)1 in his book (page 117), with Sedwick certificate from 2000. Recovered from: Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand Bahama Island
