From the research desk

A one-real cob from Lima, dated 1693 under Charles II: the small change of the viceroyalty, the coin that actually bought bread in a colonial port. Compact, intact flan with the cross clearly readable. We make no wreck claim here, because the paperwork does not support one — an honest first piece of colonial silver rather than a headline coin.
