    Cleaned at some point, but definitely a nice example :)

    Inspect the date closely, there is a 1741 over 1731 variety which is subtle to see, but also quite scarce.

    You are starting right off with a really nice 8 reales! I love the dos mundos type. Flanked by the pillars of Hercules. What a cool coin.
