This specimen was lot 22279 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $360. The catalog description[1] noted, "BOLIVIA. Cob 2 Reales, 1684-P V VR. Potosi Mint. Charles II. NGC VF-35. With two visible dates on this crude type, the present specimen offers pleasing detail, especially on the obverse. A great representation for the series." Cob two reales were struck at Potosi for Charles II 1667-1701 and are generally very crude. A few presentation pieces, round and fully struck, mostly eight reales, were made every year; these are today called "royals" atho it is uncertain if they were actually presented to the king in Madrid. The surviving "royals" today are nearly always holed or plugged as they were saved as part of a necklace.
