An amazing coin.
Thanks for adding that to my collection! :p So who were the generations between him and you, that passed the coin(s) and currency on down the line?
Speaking of half-reales, here's another Spanish piece I dug here. Mexico (Spanish Colonial): silver half-real, Mexico City mint, 1787-FM. [IMG]...
No that's when you think of Spanish coins. ;) Most of the rest of us think of silver pieces of eight or little half-reales or stuff mortal...

That Aurelian is amazing.
I once had this... umm... whatever it was. It was some kind of Zvingli medal. Looked 18th century to me. Another of these Reformation-themed...
I'll see your horsies and raise you four more. [IMG]
Nice one. Doesn't seem too banged about. Congrats. The half dime will be tough. When I was looking for one, they were all either very low-end...
