Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1704/3Y, unique overdate, no hole, ex-Sellschopp. S-P43a; KM-unl (R31 for type); CT-unl. 26.57 grams. An exceptional and atypical specimen for the period on a very broad, thin flan that extends past the full legends and outer borders of dots, also in nice grade (XF) with deep, rich toning all over, the unique overdate only on pillars side (in both places), far superior to Lazaro #243 (which is a die-match, without mention of overdate), especially inasmuch as it has no hole, which is particularly surprising since it has aligned axis (coin alignment), also highly desirable pedigree. Pedigreed to Sellschopp collection (Royals only, Swiss Bank Corp. auction of January 1987, lot #1848), and to the Ponterio auction of January 2002 (lot #1426).
