Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1650O, with crowned-S countermark on cross. S-P35; KM-19b; CT-509. 28.1 grams. Exceptionally bold and well-preserved specimen, notably overweight (no corrosion), with all inner details and most of the crown and legends full and bold, especially the date (all 4 digits) and countermark (which is a scarce one), with gorgeous toning on fields too, just about as nice as a non-Royal can get. With original Herman Moro certificate. Recovered from: Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador
