KM-19.2; LDMB-012; Gomes-04.02. Weight: 25.06 gms. Type III countermark: crowned 600 Reis countermark on a 1660 Potosi cob 8 Reales of Philip IV. Despite the minor loss of mass, the host coin is bold and clear, with the date, mintmark, and much of the legends visible. The countermark is deeply impressed, and the piece overall is a great blend of its former use and repurposed use.

Estimate: $1500 - $2000
