[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 1189766, member: 8959"]I completely agree, Moneyer. There are some very appealing coins minted in Latin America. Don't want to bring your thread off-topic, but here is a coin from Chile minted in the first year of that countries final independence from Spain in 1818. This coin was minted scarcely one year after Chilean patriots joined by many Argentinians crossed the Andes mountains from Argentina into Chile and faced the Spanish for the final battle on the plains of Chacabuco. This army of chilean and argentinian patriots was led by General San Martin, an Argentinian, and the Chilean general O'Higgins (of mixed creole and Irish descent). The patriots soundly defeated the spanish bring to an end spanish rule on the southern tip of the latin american continent. This coinage is known as the Volcano type and was minted in 1 Peso (8 reales), 2 reales , 1 real, and 1/2 real denominations.[/QUOTE]
