Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (3rd period). S-P10; KM-5.1; Cal-672. 27.06 grams. Exceptionally broad flan for the period, with much legend and full crown in addition to the full and well-detailed shield and cross, the former with no less than ten(!) fleurs in New Burgundy (a new record), scratches on shield, non-toned AU with traces of luster but also some light scuffs on obverse. To the uninitiated eye, the large flan of this example might be tempting to place into 2nd-period B, but certain die-elements in both the shield (tall, standing lions in Leon and flat lion in Brabant) and cross (new Seville lions) definitely correspond to 3rd period. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection.
