I have just registered here and now I want to say hi. Hi to all! Now, I got some old coin, taken from the bottom of Adriatic sea some 20 years ago, and pretty much mutilated by the salty water. Only thing I can see is the year, 1788, some dude's head, and letters 'CARO', I cannot guess which word begins with those letters... I dunno what coin it is, I suppose this guy looks a bit Brit? Can somebody recognize this piece of metal please? Thanx in advance.
Wow! Thanx for so fast response Ripley! I guess it is very likely a coin similar to this Spanish coin you have shown.
Okay, thanx to Ripley I have found exactly what coin is this one I got: http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Spain_1788-Seg_2_maravedis
Milos - welcome to the forum. I can clearly make out an 8 --- making this an 8 Maravedis coin. https://www.google.com/search?q=8+maravedis&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari
