    I found a coin in my inherited collection that has me interested. I am not sure what it is or the date but it does look like there is a 1535 on the coin.

    Well a picture is worth a 1000 words :)

    Very large picture:

    **Update** Appears to be a Bolivia 8 Reales Cob

    Thanks in advance!

    It looks like a "cob" coin from the Spanish Empire.

    Found it!

    After looking at thousands of coins I found what it is:

    Bolivia 8 Reales Cob

    From the counterfeits / authentic versions I have seen I think this may be authentic but that will need verified by and expert. I'm not getting my hopes up.
