Felipe IV cob 8 Reales Star of Lima 1660-V (Francisco Villegas), KM18.2, Calico-266, 26.9 g, toned XF, lightly oxidized surfaces, bold date, denomination, assayer, and star. A wonderful example of this extremely rare Star of Lima (the symbol of the capital) 8 Real issue. The first example of this very elusive date that we have seen.
