<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1043617, member: 112&quot;]What you have there has design similarities to what is known as the Hapsburg design used on the coins of Phillip V in 1701 at the Mexico City mint. Problem is, that design was only used on the 8 escudos gold coins - not on silver. And even at that the assayers initials and some of the design characteristics are wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>I searched the books for similar designs from all of the other colonial mints and can find nothing. So I can only conclude that what you have is a fake of some kind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
