This specimen was lot 530 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 27 (Winter Park, FL, May 2020), where it sold for $386.75. The catalog description[1] noted, "Lima, Peru, cob 2 reales, 1689V. Full pillars and nearly full cross, two dates and assayers, three mintmarks, porous (salvaged) VF+ with dark toning, edge-split." Despite pleas from locals in Lima for a mint, Spanish authorities preferred to concentrate coinage production at Potosi in Upper Peru. The Lima mint was shuttered multiple times by orders from Spain, not to reopen permanently until 1684. Cob eight reales were struck at the Lima mint 1701-46 for Philip V of Spain and became the "pieces of eight" of pirate lore. The fineness was lowered from 0.931 to 0.917 in 1728. The Mexico City mint was converted to milled coinage in 1732-34 but Lima would not follow suit until 1751.
