Mein deutsch ist not at all. That's next on the list, once I get my French to B1 level.

Ugh. So tacky. You realize you can buy genuine coins of ancient Greece, right?
Nope. No premium.
You should! Here's an esylum review: http://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v16n45a08.html It's out of print now, but still available used for under...
Bit of a tangent, but have you ever read Fractional Money by Neil Carothers? It's like the college textbook of US coinage, delving not so much...
It's not an entirely unknown concept. There were Byzantine solidi struck at the same time, from the same mints, with the same basic types,...
My apologies, they're silver, just struck on a different system. I'm refering to the de vellon, struck 1808-1850. My poor grasp of Spanish...
I couldn't have done it without you guys. :D
Not the billon series, which are the 4 reales that were countermarked in Cuba. See KM 562.3, weight 5.4 grams.
Nevermind, I was able to find the information without a login. Thanks, all!
Does anyone here have an account at Worthpoint? There's a record I would like to see the full version for. Thanks in advance!
Again, this is off the top of my head, so I could be wrong, but these are 2 and 4 reales from mainland Spain, which (if I recall) had a different...
I'm pretty sure it isn't the 1841 Cuban stamp then. But I could be wrong - this isn't really my area.
KM lists hosts from the 1780's to the 1830's. But the 2 and 4 reales are all smaller than your coin. I assume it's a half, correct?
1841, on two and four reales from Spain, usually Madrid.
There is a lattice countermark from Cuba, but that's too late to appear on this coin. I'd also point out that the mark on Treashunt's coin is...
Looks like you had fun. I have the same Hard Times token: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-100472
My thoughts exactly. And without seeing enough examples, it'll be completely impossible. I have very low expectations of actually getting anywhere...
