<p>[QUOTE=&quot;matt82, post: 61647, member: 3632&quot;]I&#039;m not a very big coin collector, and just picked this coin up randomly when I was overseas and thought it might be fun to figure it out.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t understand the process of toning on a silver coin, and before I cleaned it I thought it was copper/bronze based on the color.&nbsp; I originally thought it was a French coin because of &quot;Philippe V&quot;, which I unwisely assumed was a French King, which turned out to be Philippe V of Spain, the nephew of Loius XIV and first in the Spanish Bourbon line.&nbsp; Basically, this forum is a bunch of my amatuer guesses until I finally figured it out.&nbsp; Hope that clears it up<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
