Royals are known of this type from the Potosí 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 Potosí 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. This specimen was lot 13029 in Ponterio sale 177 (Chicago, August 2013), where it sold for $6,580. The catalog description[1] noted, "BOLIVIA. 8 Reales Royal, 1666-PE. Philip IV (posthumous issue) (1621-65). Final date for Philip IV. Royal type. Pierced as usual, gilt. Struck on a round planchet with well centered dies. Very nice strike."
