2 Reale Cob - Any & All Insights Welcome

Hello All -

Pictured here is a 2 Reale Cob from my collection - and that is all I know about this coin.

Any experts out there with any further insights? Is the 42 a date? 1642 or 1742? Mint marks?

Thanks in advance -

Artist

PS
If the coin doesn't show up, hit refresh - sometimes my server is buggy that way.

    Pretty sure that is KM29a 1742 Bolivia 2 Reales. I can't make out the mintmark (P or C) as it's too worn.

    I was googling trying to find better pictures, and ran across a few being sold as shipwreck coins. Pretty neat though!

    Wow!

    Thanks for the information! Based on what you provided, I took a look through Heritage's archives - and they had a KM29a very similar to mine - I do believe the mystery is solved!

    My Sincere Appreciation -
