@Boosibri well would you look at that! I assumed they were the same.
Did you notice the right pillar on both are a little more weakly struck? Yours has a lot less wear obviously, but I infer that the die has a weak or uneven strike. That weakness seems to show up on every version with this obverse. Those that I’ve seen so far anyway.

Yours is a slightly different variety with the size of the assayer “R” larger on yours.

Just got this 1770 PTS JR 1Real back from PCGS:
New variety: errant ∙ ("stop") high between R and A of VTRA; reads VTR∙A
Really nice looking coin

That’s an oddly placed stop, almost looks like an apostrophe. Have you shown it to Yonaka? Does it match up with any known die varieties?
If I recall correctly I have two similar coins with extra stops, not recorded in any reference. Both Perú. I’ll have to snap pics.
Here’s my example for the year. Without dot, while yours carries the Potosi dot. I wouldn’t have argued with seeing yours in a 40 holder. Nice piece!
