8 Reales

Heres my offering from England, found this recently.

Its very sea worn but does have some of the design still there. Its lost 50% of its original weight though.

Think it might be 1620-40 Philip but is it from New World or Spain herself?

Looking for you experienced Cobbers here to help!

The circle of ticking around the cross on the back of many Potosi cobs is different, based on the year and assayer period. The crown has 4 pellets across the rim. I'm thinking 1617 PR with wonky cross going up on right, plain back.
