This specimen was lot 173 in Sedwick Auction 36 (Winter Park, FL, November 2024), where it sold for $. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Bolivia|BOLIVIA]], Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1638 TR. Bold date (missing the 3 due to doubling) and very bold full mintmark-assayer and denomination, also with most of crown and king's name, the cross and shield full but weaker, light surface corrosion and toning. With original certificate from Captain Tracy Bowden through his contract with the Dominican Republic. Recovered from ''Concepción'', sunk in 1641 off Hispaniola." Royals are known of this type from the Potosi mint but all are rare. The regular cob issues are not nearly as nice. The years 1649-52 were a period of reform at the Potosi mint; it was found that the previous mintmasters in office 1625-48 had been debasing the cobs, a crime for which one official paid with his life. Assayer TR is noted for 1627-49, so he was likely involved.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 27.47 g, 0.931 fine silver, this specimen 25.07 grams.

''Catalog reference:'' [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-limonite]]; S-P27; KM-19a; Cal-1465.
