Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1716M, NGC AU 53. S-L28; KM-38.2; CT-28. 26.8 grams. Bright yellow color, good full pillars-and-waves with floral ornament at top, full cross-lions-castles, interesting two-year issue with dots for horizontal lines and sprinkled throughout the design, plus "teardrops" around the points of the cross, which some speculate are a memorial for the loss of the 1715 Fleet. With photo-certificate. NGC #3501166-002.
