Is this a " Copy-Right " Logo ....
I put a black circle around the area of question ...

 

Yes, it is. I would assume anyways, could be his signature? I got it from the guy, that made it, at the Puerto Rico Mint. He also got copies of the document and the drawing from the Smithsonian Institute.

Puerto Rico is a great place to visit, I've been on a couple of Cruise Ships, that Docked there for the Night .

 

Heres a pic of the coin I have. The coin they were intending on replacing. weird to see a childs bust on a coin. A very young king

 

Any ideal on who it is ?

 

yes... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonso_XIII_of_Spain look at the name. can you imagine writing this ? LOL

 

Are you sure this is authentic? I have my doubts but it could be the lightning. Can you post the weight?

 

I think its authentic, I hope anyways...it would be hard to weigh, as I have it stapled in a non pvc flip. should I be concerned about authenticity? if so I will remove and weigh it. it cost me a pretty penny. so I hope its real. I weighed it 21.5 grams. Dang!, looked it up it should weigh 25 grams. must be a counterfeit. I bought it from a friend who inherited a lot of old coins.... maybe I will take ALL of my non graded coins and research and weigh them...dang counterfeits stink!

 

I believe it is a modern restrike. There is a seller on eBay with 9 available at $50 each.

 

in this instance, does restrike mean fake? my guess would be yes

 

It's not a US Mint pattern, if that's what you're asking.

Thanks

 

The coin in the plastic flip, yes. I don't know about the coins in airtites in first pictures, but the last one in bcw, yes.

 

Thanks. guess I will learn the hard way. and do some research before buying anything other than slabbed coins

 

Do you realize that Puerto Rico does not have a mint, and never did ?
