Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1660E, unique "half-Royal." S-P37a; KM-21; CT-448. 23.8 grams. Fascinating coin with pillars side struck from a Royal die (identical to Lazaro #161, with diagnostic ornaments in legend) but cross side struck from a normal die and on a planchet that is not quite round nor perfectly even in thickness, both sides with excellent detail (full cross and pillars-and-waves), some doubling and light surface corrosion, attractively toned on fields. From the Association, sunk in 1707 off the Scilly Isles, southwest of England
