Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1653E, dot-PH-dot at top, Royal-like. S-P37a; KM-21. 21.3 grams. The issuance of "quasi-Royal" coins that are not quite round or even enough to be considered true Royals continued past the transition into 1653, as the present coin demonstrates, since both sides are perfectly centered and fully detailed on a roundish flan, just most of the legend off the edge and lightly corroded all over. From the Capitana, sunk in 1654 off Chanduy, Ecuador.
