Looking forward to seeing your set when it is complete, Mat. Those are two nice additions. Remarkable though how different the style is between...
Here the 1-Real coin with counterstamp GR for Grenada:
I was looking at some of my spanish colonial coins, and discovered two interesting, scarce varieties. The first one is a 2-Reales coin, dated...

Can you be more explicit, page(s)?
Mat, Randy, thank you for your comments. I guess one of the reasons I am interested in his coinage is his association with the Roman Legions of...
Those two were among the first roman coins I ever bought, back in the late 80's. Somehow I developed a liking for his coins and his history, and...
