| The first and final digits of the date are partially visible. The kings name is CAROLVS (II) who was king from 1665 - 1700, so the date can be no earlier than 1665. 1666 is the earliest known Nuevo Reino coins with the name of Charles II. The assayer was Pedro Ramos - PoRS worked until 1676, so that is the last year that the coin could be dated. The only date between 1665 and 1676 that ends with an eight, is 1668. | |
