[QUOTE="Don Lorenzo, post: 3655901, member: 106293"][ATTACH=full]982529[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]982530[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]982531[/ATTACH] I have a gold Cacique given to me as a gift when leaving the employment of a company based in Venezuela where I was working in the summer of 1981. It weighs 7.65 grams and is 26.3 mm in diameter, as closely as I can weigh and measure it. It is in extremely good condition, having never been worn as jewelry or carried. It was bought new by my company at a jewelry store in Maturin, Venezuela, and I still have the box it came in. Has anyone seen this exact coin? I haven't heard anyone mention a Cacique of this particular size, although it certainly is within the broad range of sizes that I have seen reported that they were minted in. Also, the reverse is a type that I never have been able to find a duplicate image of anywhere. As to the date of minting, I can only say that I was given this in the summer of 1981, so it was minted before that. I probably will be selling this one soon. If anyone has some additional information on this exact coin, let me know. Here are some images of the coin that I have, scanned on a flatbed scanner. Also attached is an image of the jewelry box it came in. Thanks in advance, Don Lorenzo[/QUOTE]
