Eight reales.

I have some 16th century Spanish silver pieces… otherwise know as “cobs.” They are more like chunks of metal, sometimes over struck a number of times. As they wore down, they would take the cobs and strike it anew, and you could see the “ghost” of the previous strikings… they were really our first colonial coins, because the silver content was respected world wide…
