Sorry for the lousy pics - this is a tiny coin & I don't have my lens handy to shoot through. The denomination reads "Medio Centimo" - is that 2.5 Centimos? It's looks a lot like the Centavo on this list, but it's 15mm (not 18mm). Did the list neglect the 2.5 centavo? http://www.coindatabase.com/coin_spain_sort.php?pais=0&ano=1867 The NGC population report is awfully sparse for a 2.5 Centimo - is that because this is a rare coin or just not a widely collected one? Also, how do I discern between the 2 mints (Barcelona & Segovia)? http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/wo...pain-decimal-coinage-1848-to-date-coin-census
Hmm, a medio céntimo is a half centimo. I know, it's so much easier if a denomination is clearly indicated by digits, but there are cases where the government just won't do that, and uses confusing words such as "half" or quarter" instead. The mint is indicated by the numbers of points that the stars have. Would have to look that up ... Christian
