This is an example of a type struck 1791-1808 at Potosi, Bolivia (then called Upper Peru). It is the final date of its type and was replaced that year by the bust of Ferdinand VII. Harris[1] notes that Potosi two reales of Charles IV outnumber those of Mexico City as the the commonest mint by about five to four. The specimen shown is slightly double struck on the obverse; it is uncertain if this is caused by die bounce or if it is a true doubled die.
Recorded mintage: 203,000 (including KM 83).
Specification: 6.77 g, 0.896 fine silver, .195 troy oz ASW.
