This specimen was lot 53768 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Pittsburgh, PA, August 2023), where it sold for $384. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Bolivia|BOLIVIA]]. Cob 8 Reales, 1662-P E. Potosi Mint. Philip IV. NGC VF-35." 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 E is noted for 1652-79.

''Specification:'' 27.07 g, 0.931 fine silver.
