[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 381352, member: 8959"]Thank you very much GDJMSP, you do true honor to your sign off: Knowledge - share it! I will start searching for the resources you mentioned. Another source i hear off frequently is Carlos Jara Moreno. He is supposed to be an expert on Chilean coinage, but i have not been able to find a way to contact him, or to find any of his books. I do have one book dealing explicitly with colonial coinage of the Santiago mint. It is a book by J.T Medina, published in 1919. It is quite brief, and probably more a collectors item than a practical reference. Interestingly, he mentions that back then (1919) when the book was published, there were no specimens known of Charles III Columnarios from the Santiago mint. In the intervening 90years approximately 20-25 specimens have surfaced (let's hope it stay at that!) Once again, many thanks for your help, regards, Eduard[/QUOTE]
