Absolutely gorgeous example of this early 8 Reales cob from the Spanish colony of Bolivia. Tougher 40s date which seems scarcer than pieces from the 1750s. Choice original surfaces and light color and a strong strike. Fantastic quality for the grade. Additionally, this example boasts a date on both the front and back. Coins of this type circulated in the American colonies. This coin would have been U.S. legal tender until 1857.
