Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1733N, supposedly from the 1733 Fleet (rare provenance). S-L29; KM-38.2; CT-48. 27.0 grams. Bold AU- with choice and perfectly centered pillars-and-waves and cross-lions-castles, with fine black sediment in crevices (lending credence to its supposed provenance). Here it should be noted that Tauler lists 4 different varieties based on "distinct punctuation," i.e., the dots in and among the pillars-side elements, and the present specimen appears to be a variety that is unlisted, with a "high" dot to the left of the final 3 of the date. Supposedly from the 1733 Fleet, with (unsigned dealer's) certificate #95G-010 from 1995.
