[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2948727, member: 8959"]Nice 1 Real, H8_modern:). You are absolutely correct, these coins are really not easy to find, partly due to very low mintages (16000 only for the 1 Real 1834), partly also because of the extreme lack of divisionary coinage in Chile in the early 1800's. Most examples today are quite worn. In my experience, the 2 Reales 1834 and the 1 Real 1834 are about equivalent in scarcity today, with the 1/2 Real (what I call the baby volcano) perhaps a little harder to find. Regarding your search for the 1 Peso, as mentioned, the 1817 FJ is a nice one to obtain and should not be too difficult to find one. This particular coin is in fact Chile's first Republican coin as it was minted before the other two varieties for the year. Here are group shots of the 1 Peso, 2, 1 and half real for a size comparison: [ATTACH=full]719806[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]719807[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
