Help with 1 reale cob?

This is the forth cob from what I believe is an early dutch trading site. Any help with ID would be appreciated. I found a trade ax a few feet away on the same hunt!

Thanks

You have an early Potosi piece minted during the reign of King Philip II. The assayer was Juan Ballesteros Narvaez. It was minted during his 3rd period or after. (He served as assayer off and on for many years and his terms of office are distinguished by die features. This one uses dots around the legend which only began from his 3rd term and onward (he served a 4th term)). 1581 - 1592(end of his 4th term).

Thanks very much for the detailed info. I was afraid because it was so worn it would be hard to ID.
That make my day!!!
