| Identity help please-cob,reales, cash coin, you name it. 1600s-1800s(?)
I've had these coins for a while and have been unable to identify them. The first one on the left may be a cob coin from the 1600s, the second from 1755 is one of them Spanish milled coins but I do not know where it was minted as I do not know what the letters stand for. What country should I put on the holder for where it is from? The third is a Chinese cash coin from I'm guessing the late 1700s-early 1800s but I can't be sure from my books, the fourth has M. Theres on it and might say 1785 but didnt she die in 1780? The last coin is from Hungary and features who I believe to be Jesus and Mary and may be some kind of token on it and has the date of what I believe to be the 1760s. Please help me if you can as I've had the Spanish coin for four years and haven't been able to properly identify it. Oh and to give you a perspective of size the cash coin is just a tiny bit smaller than a quarter. http://www.geocities.com/cracklingcandles/Obverse.jpg http://www.geocities.com/cracklingcandles/Reverse.jpg |
