The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Bolivia|BOLIVIA]]. Cob 2 Reales, 1668-P E. Potosi Mint. Charles II. PCGS EF-40. KM-24; Cal-385. 5.74 g. A moderately struck Cob with dark toning in the fields and some weak patches on both sides. Mintmark and assayer information is clear on the obverse, and the date appears twice, once with all four digits. From the S.P. Rutherford Collection." In 1652, the [[Bolivia 1674-P E 4 reales|four]] and eight reales were redesigned to distinguish the reformed (full silver) product from the old, debased cobs. Assayer "E" (Antonio de Ergueta) was brought in to clean house and served 1650-79, well into the reign of Charles II, as here.
