| 正面描述 | Crowned quartered shield of Castile and León at center, displaying alternating castles and lions in the four quarters, with a small escutcheon at the base. To the left of the shield appear the assayer initial and the denomination numeral 8, while to the right the mint mark P for Potosí is partially visible. A partial Latin legend surrounds the shield within a beaded border, the whole struck on an irregular cob flan characteristic of macuquina coinage. The royal crown surmounting the shield displays elaborate arch and cross finial detail. |

This is almost certainly a macuquina — a cob coin — struck at Potosí before the 1652 scandal that shut the mint down entirely. That year, an investigation revealed that assayers had been systematically debasing the silver for decades, substituting copper to pocket the difference. The fraud implicated the assayer general Ramírez de Arellano and reached deep into the colonial administration. Philip IV ordered the mint sealed, all circulating Potosí cobs recalled, and a new coinage struck under tighter supervision.
Coins dated 1652 may predate the closure or emerge from its chaotic final weeks. Assayer attribution on cobs of this period is frequently ambiguous.
