From the Don T. Hayes Collection.

A 1700 L 8 Reales of Carlos II. On this specimen, the pomegranate of Granada still present in the escutcheon of the obverse prior to being replaced in 1702 by the three fleur-de-lis of the Bourbons. This feature in the arms is complemented by the two 00’s in the date that are visible which confirms the only possible date as 1700.
