<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 517037, member: 8959&quot;]If any of you have ever been to Chile you will probably have seen one of its many Volcanoes. </p><p>That narrow but very long country - 4000 kilometers long from the northern desert of Tarapaca (driest desert in the world), all the way down to the frigid landscapes of Tierra del Fuego - is dotted all along with volcanoes. </p><p>Appropriately, Chile&#039;s first republican coinage after achieving independence from Spain in 1818 features a volcano on the reverse, and a column topped by a sun on the obverse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are two examples of that coinage, one an 8 reales (1818/7 overdate), the other an 1 real. I find these coins very appealing, and they do enjoy great popularity with collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoy seeing these symbolic coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
