The specimen shown is a 1726 cob two reales from the Potosi mint in [[Bolivia]], struck during the brief reign of Luis I. The Potosi mint was the most prolific issuer of silver during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, nearly all of it cobs such as this. The other Latin American mints placed the date near the edge where it rarely struck up, whereas Potosi issues have the date smack in the middle, ensuring that the date would be legible even if the rest of the design was smeared. As a result, Bolivian cobs can be collected by date, unlike the other mints (Mexico, Lima, Guatemala). The Potosi mint was the last to abandon the manufacture of cobs, in 1773. This specimen was lot 1727 in Sedwick sale 25 (Winter Park, FL, May 2018), where it sold for $130.90. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Potosi, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, 1726Y, (Louis I). Worn VG with full pillars-and-waves and cross, lightly toned all over (dark around details)."

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 6.77 g, .931 fine, .202 troy oz ASW, this specimen 6.01 grams.
