[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4542972, member: 110226"]It looks like a Guatemala cob that has been around the block innumerable times. The hole was probably there for a considerable amount of time. Many of the indigenous people in the region lacked pockets, so the coins were holed to accommodate being held on a string. This was a very wide spread practice. Later, someone inserted a ring into the hole. I'm pretty sure the coin is genuine. The date appears to be 1739.[/QUOTE]
