Brown's Fan, the mintage figures you are looking for in this particular case (Potosi 1822 8R) do exist. A book entitled 'Economia Colonial y...

Hi, your first coin is a 1/2 cedid mahmudiye from Constantinople mint, Ottoman Empire (Turkey). Guessing from relative size. It is dated 1223...
Likewise, good to see you are still here Eduard. Great 1762 1 real, hard to find a nice Guatemala minor without a hole in it. In fact that's one...
I looked through a large group of fake portrait 8 reales last year and noted that the 'stressed planchets' were reproduced in some of the fakes....
Some great 8 reales here. Moneditis, I recognize that 1759 G from the cover of a recent T&F auction catalog, nice pickup. Here are some from the...
Nice thread on Egyptian coinage, one of the areas I collect. That is correct, the coin above was struck in Istambol, not Egypt. Below is an...
