Message:: [QUOTE="satootoko, post: 139817, member: 669"]I'd be very interested in seeing your basis for that conclusion. <ul> <li>The word "Brittania" historically appeared on British coinage, not Spanish, since it is the name of the mythical Goddess representative of the nation.</li> <li> George III was the mad King of England in whose reign the "trouble in the colonies" led to the establishment of the United States.</li> <li>There is no historical evidence that Spain ever had a ruler named "George", let alone three of them.</li> <li>If it is ~23mm in diameter, your description fits KM#602, a copper farthing of Great Britain, valued at $10 F to $185 Unc. in the 2001 18th Century Standard Catalog of World Coins, which mentions that there were many contemporary counterfeits.</li> <li>If it is ~30mm wide, your description fits KM#601, a copper half-penny, $15-285.</li> <li>The only Spanish 1736 8 Reales listed in the SCWC (KM#358) is not a cob, has a shield on the obverse with a coat of arms on the reverse and has a "Philippus" (Philip V - 1700-1746) legend</li> </ul>BTW <img src="http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> to CoinTalk.[/QUOTE]
