<p>[QUOTE=&quot;writerdeb, post: 197925, member: 7944&quot;]Hello, I&#039;m a Colorado author who is researching a Spanish coin found along the Colorado River near Grand Junction in 1932. Can anyone give me any info on this coin? The newspaper article talks about a little boy who found it and gave it to his grandmother, Mrs. W.H. Sherman. </p><p><br /></p><p>She describes it in the article: &quot;The coin bears upon one side the likeness of a Spanish queen, with the lettering &#039;Isabella.D.Val.Pri.Hisp.Regis.VX&#039; lending to the belief that the likenss is that of the queen who financed Columbus&#039; voyage to the new world. Queen Isabella died in 1504. The other side of the coin bears the image of a king, with lettering, a portion of which is &#039;D.G.Hisp.Rex.Catholica.&#039; All lettering and figures are clear and distinct, but the coin was roughly minted...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Mrs. Sherman sent a full description to Curtis Jordan, US consulate in Madrid Spain (in 1932) He conferred with a noted Spanish coin collector who declared that the piece of money was undoubtedly coined in the year 1529 and of great value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t find anything about this coin on the Internet, and was hoping someone could help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Debbie Brockett[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
