This specimen was lot 643 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 27 (Winter Park, FL, May 2020), where it sold for $327.25. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Potosi, [[Bolivia]], cob 2 reales, 1677E. Nice full pillars with 100% full waves, nearly full cross with one lion and one castle choice, two dates and assayers and mintmarks, non-toned AU- (slightly off-center strike), inexplicably overweight (effectively a "2-1/2 reales"). Pedigreed to the Aureo mail bid auction of Feb. 7, 2007, lot 566." 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. Potosi was the only mint to produce two reales in 1676, 1677 and 1678.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.
