After several years of preparation, my book about reales de a ocho columnarios is in the process of editing and publication (in Spanish)



"...The Columnario de a Ocho (8) was the first coin of the Empire technically, artistically and aesthetically perfect, with a great scope and distribution in the world trade of the time, the first also to be audited by the Royal Treasury and protected by the State. It is the coin that should not be missing in any self-respecting collection..."
