BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1652 E, post-transitional (Transitional Type VIII/B), 1-PH-6 at top, with Guatemala sun-over-mountains countermark (Type II, 1839) on cross, NGC VF details / holed, c/s VF weak, ex-Boyd, Dasí Plate (stated on label). S-P37a; KM-R21; Cal-1410. 26.19 grams. Broad and perfectly round flan befitting its galano stature (although not a die-match with any in Lázaro), with full and well-centered inner details, the legends somewhat doubled but with clear third date, small natural lacuna at bottom of cross, tiny hole at top edge on that side, full and deep but crude countermark on upper-right quadrant, elegantly toned and impressively pedigreed, a clear example of how special coins go from one major collection to another over the generations. Pedigreed to the Superior auction of August 1975 (F.C.C. Boyd collection, lot 1753) and to the Galerie des Monnaies auction of February 1982 (lot 86), also Plate Coin on page 177 of Tomás Dasí's Estudio de los Reales de a Ocho (1950).
