<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ignamarco, post: 26213, member: 1807&quot;]Here is the description of the similar coin,</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Comments:&nbsp; This is an example of the &quot;portrait&quot; or &quot;modified pillar&quot; design with a portrait of Charles IV on the obverse and the Spanish arms between the two pillars on the reverse. In the reverse legend the monogram &#039;LIMAE&#039; is the mintmark indicating the coin was produced at the mint in Lima, Peru. This is followd by &#039;8 R&#039; which indicates the denomination of eight reales. The J and the P are the initials of the assayers, Juan Martínez de Roxas and Pablo Cano Melgarejo who worked together from 1803-1823 (see Pellicer i Bru, Glosario, pp. 31 and 139).&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>BUT&nbsp; i see the diference in the back of the coin, one says, J P , and mine says P J</p><p><br /></p><p>would like to know if by chance it is worth anything,</p><p>thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
