I want one too!:) Great Addition!
This is a Reales piece dated 1855 from the small mint at Pasco in Peru. The Pasco mint was one of a few branch mints which operatd briefly besides...
This was my best haul of denarii: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As I mentioned, the color appears a bit unusual to me too. I bought it at a coin shop in Dallas around 1989. I have no doubts it is legit. I will...
Thank you, jgenn, for posting those two beautiful 8 Reales of the Republica del Centro de America. A most beautiful type of this short-lived...
Interesting detail which I had never noticed, David. Your post caused me to check my Titus-Curule chair denarius. It appears to be of the adorned...

Hats of to Marshall. Attributing this was beyond me. At last I was able to guess it could be a 1797... Hoping for you it is a plain edge!
I agree, a beautiful and interesting type! A nice, well defined portrait, and small cross pattée with annulet on fourth quarter?
Thank you very much, aide! And thank you for posting your example as well. As you say, the overall preservation is quite good, specially the...
A very realistic portrait!
