3.34 grams. Struck on a somewhat broader planchet than the others, this example shows a complete shield and full IIII ordinal to its lower left. The mintmark is mostly obscure, but the majority of the H assayer is visible to the shields right. The cross is mostly complete, but more importantly all four digits of the date are on the planchet above it. 16 is crystal clear, while the final two digits are ill-defined. The last digit can be made out as 5 under light and magnification.

Plated in Nesmiths "A Hoard of the First Silver Coins of Nuevo Reino de Granada (Colombia)," 1958, coin #4o, illustrated on plate XXX and in a line drawing on p. 522.
