<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1658069, member: 112&quot;]Cobs, as the Spanish colonial coins are called, didn&#039;t exist until well into the 1500&#039;s. And it&#039;s only the Spanish colonials that are called cobs, none of the coins actually minted in Spain fall into that category. The very first Spanish colonial coins were not struck until 1536 in Mexico City. All other came much later than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for a book, there are many, but if you had to pick just one I would recommend &quot;Cobs, Pieces of Eight, and Treasure Coins&quot; by Sewall Menzel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
