<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1553647, member: 26302&quot;]Just a note on terminology, escudo was a gold coin, so a 4 escudo was more like our $10 gold piece. Also, &quot;doubloon&quot; is really not used by numismatists. Its more of a &quot;treasure hunter&quot; term for an escudo. If used, it usually refers to gold escudos of the earlier period where the striking of the coins were crude. For silver coins we usually just refer to them as 1,2,4 or 8 reales.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just letting you know Lonegun, as terminology can separate you as a knowledgable numismatist versus a &quot;newbie&quot; in front of a dealer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
