Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1669/8 E, very rare, NGC VF details / holed. S-P37b; KM-unl (R26 for type); Cal-664. 26.37 grams. Broad flan with metal extending beyond the outer border in places, the legends and inner design all full and well struck (albeit slightly off-center), attractively toned around details, the expected hole placed perfectly in the second O of POTOSI (top of cross on other side), and the overdate appearing clearly in the three-digit date below cross (not mentioned on NGC label), that side (only) a die match with Lazaro 181 (rarity R2, without mention of the overdate, yet visible in the photo) but the pillars side (notably without pomegranate at top) apparently not listed, possibly unique. NGC #5940510-001.
