2 Reale Cob and date ?

[Fredneck]

This was recovered at an early Courthouse site in Va, and I never really got the full skinny on this coin. Looking for imfo such as mint mark 'B" or "P" and date VI 99 - 1699 ?

Thanks for looking,
Dave

I'm leaning more towards 1695 with the assayer you mentioned who, I believe was out of office after 1697, having been replaced by S.de Chavarria in '97 and the an 'unknown' in that same year ('97) through 1701.

Memory; don't I wish. That failed, along with some other functions years ago. I need the reference books to have any chance.
