Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1652E Transitional Type VIII/A, unique variety without REX in legend, ex-Madonna. S-P37; KM-A20.8 var; Cal-1495 var. 27.14 grams. Broad flan with crude edge (as made) but nearly full and somewhat Royal-like details in terms of completeness, balance of striking pressure and lack of doubling (just a trace to right of shield), including full 1652 date and king's ordinal IIII in legend and choice interiors, VF+ with light spotty toning, faint surface scuffing on shield side. Type VIII/A is quite rare by itself, but apparently this is a unique variety (not listed in Mastalir) without REX at the end of the shield-side legend. Pedigreed to the J. Madonna Collection.
