This specimen was lot 305 in Sedwick sale 34 (Winter Park, FL, November 2023), where it sold for $1,020. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Potosi, [[Bolivia]], cob 8 reales, 1697 CH, rare. Solid and corrosion-free, with bold full pillars showing full date and clear assayer, bold but doubled cross with second date and assayer, peripherally flat but with contrasting toning in crevices, desirable rarity. With original photo-certificate MOW/1035 from the salvor. Recovered from: ''Association'', sunk in 1707 off the Isles of Scilly, southwest of England." This type was struck 1667-1700 for Charles II. It superseded the shield/cross type which was discredited in the debasement scandal of the 1630's and 1640's. Assayer "CH" served 1697 only but left his mark on one, two, four and eight reales (the Potosi mint did not mint gold until the reign of Charles III).

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.
