Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1653 E, dot-PH-dot at top, pomegranate above and 653 below cross. S-P37a; KM-21; Cal-1503. 22.49 grams. Perfect example of a one-sided coin, with superb pillars side showing full and bold details (two date, even) but with cross side heavily corroded, the pomegranate-at-top variety still discernible, darkly toned around details for enhanced contrast. With original Herman Moro certificate (generic). Recovered from: Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador
