A nice example of an un-salvaged Nuevo Reino 8 reales, multiple struck. Ex: Faistauer Collection, Christensen sale Dec 8 & 9, 1979 lot 1077 described as ".. toned VF-EF ... obverse somewhat double struck. A handsome example of this rarity". Ex: Schuckmann Collection, Renaissance Auctions sale Dec 13, 2001 lot 3111. The crown style is different than that used on coin # 1796 which is also dated 166Z. |
