I have in my small collection a silver spanish coin dated 1711, Carolus 111, sorry I am unable to post a photo. The ledgend reads: HISPANIARVM REX 1711. IT HAS A LARGE CROWN AND UNDERNEATH IS: CAOS WITH ANOTHER LETTER INTERWOVEN OVER THE O I CANT DECIPHER THIS COULD BE AN R AND L TOGETHER. ON THE REVERSE? IS THE LEDGEND CAROLUS 111 D G AND A LARGE CROWNED SHIELD OF THE HAPSBURG FAMILY. THIS CONFUSED ME BECAUSE IN 1711 CHARLES 111 WAS ARCHDUKE OF AUSTRIA HE HAD A CLAIM TO THE SPANISH CROWN AND I CANNOT FIND ANY REFERENCE TOCOINS STRUCK FOR HIM IN SPAIN. THERE IS NO DENOMINATION ON IT BUT TO THE LEFT OF THE CROWN AS A LARGE R AN TO THE RIGHT IS 11 OR 17. SIZE:1 INCH DIAMETER. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL FO ANY HELP. THANK YOU. NORM....NEW USER.
Howdy norm - Welcome to the Forum !! I believe this is the coin you are asking about. Your coin would have a different date of course, but it is a 2 reales struck in Spain under Carlos III.
is coin talk experiencing a bug your links are not working GD and i know you had that same problem in Jerome's thread
Thank You. This Is The Exact Coin...carlos And Carolus Are The Same? =charles. Very Grateful For Your Help.....norm
