Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1734E, full 4-digit date in legend (rare thus). S-P46; KM-31a; CT-893. 27.14 grams. This is a nice coin overall--with full pillars-and-waves and cross, typically thick and chunky but with far more detail than usual--but what is most striking is the 100% full and bold date in the legend, probably the first time we have seen such a thing in this period on anything but a Royal (which this is not), the coin a little silvery from cleaning but with toning on fields, VF+. With photo-certificate.
