This book is an update to Paoletti's esteemed work on Potosi cob 8 Reales of all periods. All of the coins are assigned consecutive numbers and arranged under pertinent categories and subheadings. The coin photographs for each entry are excellent, and include many enlargements of details mentioned in the discussion of the dies. While not a technical die study, the author clearly delineates all known important features and characteristics of the recorded varieties for every year of issue, with a detailed discussion of the progressions of stylistic changes and assayers’ tenures.

In his book, Paoletti offers a comprehensive analysis that connects the cob to the larger socioeconomic and political structure of the period. This work is of utmost importance to anyone who is interested in the early Potosi coinages whether it be collectors, dealers, scholars, treasure hunters or salvors. This book is presented in English with Spanish text at the end. It is a very important reference on the subject and a must have addition to anyones' numismatic reference library.

No rebate applies, but Alan Workman offers the book on eBay. -Editor
