Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, assayer Z, no countermark, rare. S-P34; KM-19a. 25.49 grams. Broad flan with choice full cross-lions-castles and shield, bold P-Z, flat peripheries, toned AXF, a coin with moderate rarity on three levels: for the assayer, for its lack of a countermark and for being non-salvage (also note the low weight, indicative of the scandal that broke just after this coin was issued).
