1746 Potosí 8 Reales Cob. Philip V. Struck at the legendary Potosí mint in the dying year of Philip V’s reign, this chunky silver “Piece of Eight” embodies the raw spirit of Spanish colonial treasure. Hand-hammered on an irregular planchet, it features a bold Jerusalem cross on the obverse and crowned pillars of Hercules with waves on the reverse. The full “1746” date appears legible on both sides. Debased to 0.917 fine silver (˜27.07 g), many examples show the distinctive double date and double assayer “q” variety. A classic late-cob survivor from the silver mountain that once funded empires—rugged, historic, and endlessly collectible. Calico-1589, KM#31a (better images forthcoming)
