Message:: [QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 417293, member: 12965"]One thing about it is it was purchased about 10 years ago in Spain by someone from the UK. I bought it from him.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  I bought it because I couldn't figure out what it was and that pee'd me off, so I bought it so I could continue to research it to figure out what it is.  Also, the previous owner took it to the British Museum and they counldn't figure out what it was either. Maybe it's some kind of local coin, similar to local coinage in Mexico, around the end of the 18th to beginning of the 19th century? And as to it being milled, it isn't dated that I can tell so it's probably in honor of Phillip and made well after his time but not too recent.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  I may have to find someone in Spain or Portugal that knows their local coinage well and they might know what this is? Don't we have a resident Portuguese member?  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Ribbit  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
