BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer L/L/? (2nd period?), no H in HISPANIARVM, large crown, rare. KM-5.1; Cal-670. 24.75 grams. Similar to the previous lot but different dies, this with notably larger crown above the shield, also a very broad flan extending past the outer border in places, the legends full with particularly complete PHILIPPVS, full crown and shield and cross-lions-castles, bold P-L/L that is punched over a previous letter traditionally believed to be B but actually looks more like M (combined with deep tressure-dimples around the cross, hence possibly from 1st-period L instead), VF details with surface porosity and low weight.
