<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 3027219, member: 8959&quot;]This is what one of my favorite ancient coin dealers showed me when I asked him at a coin show if he had any modern coins: Peru, Lima mint 1/2 escudo 1821, struck under Ferdinand VII.</p><p>This is a scarce type, and the last half escudo minted at Lima under Spanish colonial rule. A nice addition to my Latin American Spanish colonial collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even more surprised when he let me have it for bullion price.</p><p><font size="4">The picture is not very good, the coin is much better in-hand.</font></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]753931[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]753932[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
