Nice Potosi Philip IV 8 Reales Silver Cob 1660 Double Date Essayer E Ergueta

The silver cob, issued while Phillip IV was King in Spain, weights 25.8 g. The essayer's mark E is clearly seen twice as well as the date on the one side as 660 and between the pillars as 60. A collector cleared me about the low weight of the coin.

It could be either a shipwreck coin or a good fake. The porosity is regular over the whole coin, making me think it is a wreck-coin. Clearly described at Paoletti's 8 REALES COBS OF POTOSI as type E1 in the page 203. Ensayador Antonio de Ergueta (II periodo) (E).

Fecha en ambos lados legible. I send everything through the Chilean Post, registered with tracking.
