That Trade Dollar is beautiful, so is the 8 Escudos (and also really cool historically), but since I can't afford gold, the silver coins speak to me a little more
They're both awesome. It's been nearly 15+ years since I had a Brit Trade dollar, and I've never owned an 8-escudo piece (since I can't afford them even if they were priced at spot). So I'll vicariously enjoy yours. I like the subtle toning on both.
