Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1652E Transitional Type V, very rare, NGC VF details / holed, Calico Plate Coin. S-P37; KM-RA20.5; Cal-1409. 26.52 grams. Very round and well struck (only slightly off-center and perhaps weaker in the centers) with all details full and readable, a die-match with Lazaro #128 (rarity rating R3) and Mastalir #V.1-A.bb (but not listed among known examples despite his meticulous records, therefore unpublished prior to our Auction 22 in 2017) characterized by dots above the top row and above the center date within the pillars, also beautifully toned yet with the inevitable hole at bottom of shield. Pedigreed to our Auction 22 (lot #679), Plate Coin on page 187 of Calico's Numismatica espanola (2019). NGC #5902400-005.
