It's raining outside and we need some sun, I'll start with this 1869 bronze Uruguayan 2 Centesimo that I picked up yesterday. What grabbed my attention is the full mid day sun instead of the usual rising sun that you see on some of the Latin American coins. I would love to see what other collectors out there have with the sun theme. Please post your pieces.
Thank you very much for an interesting thread, Sir. I have a coin with the same design from Uruguay too.
Thanks Siberian Man, didn't realize that there were other denominations. May have to look into this...
I've posted this medallic issue in another thread but I think its pretty cool. Its a copper piece struck from modified original 8 Reales dies found in the mint.
