Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (3rd period, crude style). S-P10; KM-5.1; CT-158. 27.14 grams. Full but slightly doubled shield and cross, full P-B and nearly full crown of a distinctively smaller style, VF+ with decent toning, minor natural edge-splits. (Note: The time placement of this type, with distinctive lions and castles, is in dispute, for Paoletti calls it Group B8 within what we consider 5th period, possibly due to its box-like borders, but commas in the legends indicate an earlier period to us.)
