BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (5th period, border of x's on obverse, early style reverse). S-P14; KM-5.5; Cal-unl (cf 672). 26.77 grams. Slightly off-center Fine with contrasting black toning, nice full shield, the cross-and-tressure also full but somewhat scratched. As mentioned above, this is an example of the reverse of the "early style" (border of boxes) mated with a new obverse showing corrected fleurs and a border of x's, which appears to be at least scarce.
