I'm not being able to acquire a few 8R Mexican coins, but so far I had yet to add anything smaller to my collection...until now. It's tiny, got good toning, and it scratches off another ruler from my list. Please feel free to show any relevant coins you may have and wish to share.
Very nice! At one point I considered doing a type set of 1/2 R through 8R but for now have decided to just stick to the 8R (which I wanted the most out of all of them).
The Columnario - one of the most attractive coin designs of the modern era. Nice one, @Sallent ! I collect Santiago and Lima mints: Lima 1 Real 1753/2. Quite scarce per Gilboy. The Lima 1766 1 Real is the rarest date of the Lima series. A unique 1751 exists, most likely a pattern. This example is the best out of 5 known Lima 1766 reales. I understand the most up-to-date guidebook and catalog on the Columnarios of the New World is Brad Yonaka's work.
Those are wonderful examples of Spanish colonial 1/2 and 1 real coins! The Mexican 1768 8 reales is also very nice. Congrats!
