<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 33120, member: 283&quot;]A superb example of the type GD. Nice one!</p><p><br /></p><p>At one time I was interested in the cob coinage but the opportunity for me at the time to actually get any was very limited. I did manage however to get a few examples. Unfortunatley they are far too `3 dimensional&#039; to scan and my digital camera skills are still in their infancy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s one of the better scans i&#039;ve managed to do of an early (circa 1614) 8 reales cob I have. I bought six of these about ten years ago all in roughly the same condition. They all have their own `character&#039; though and are decidedly different from each other in shape, the design struck up (or not as the case may be). Fascinating early colonial coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.imb4u2.myby.co.uk/stuff/Cob3obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.imb4u2.myby.co.uk/stuff/Cob3rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
