Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1652E post-transitional (transitional Type VIII/B), 1-PH-6 at top, from the Capitana (1654). S-P37a; KM-21; CT-434. 26.41 grams. Very solid flan with minimal surface corrosion, VF with toned fields, full cross and full but off-center pillars-and-waves, two dates and bold 1-PH-6 at top. While Mastalir notes minor die varieties, this is effectively what we consider "post-transitional." Pedigreed to the Roberto Mastalir collection, #VIII.1-B.aa.x(5)2 in his book (page 208), from the Capitana (1654).
