[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2587715, member: 8959"]And last but not least, for those of us who besides a love of ancients, also cultivate a liking for 'world coins', these two coins from Spanish and Latin America: This first one is a 1 real coin from the Spanish colonial mint at Guatemala.

[ATTACH=full]563007[/ATTACH] Lastly, a one peso coin dated 1817 from the newly independent nation of Chile, minted in the very first year after independence from Spain. The 1817 Volcano Peso is found with the FJ assayer mark, also without an assayer's mark, and with the FD assayer mark. Assayer FJ is common, while assayer FD and the no-assayer variety are both very rare. Another coin for my Latin America collection I was lucky to find this year.
