<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 1583598, member: 8959&quot;]Thank you Gallienus for pointing out your website. You have some very nice coins there, and I have bookmarked it. </p><p>I encourage other C.T members to visit this website. I also like the Peruvian coins you exhibit. I collect Peru too but not that assiduously. I specially like the rarer peruvian mints/issues like those for North Peru (struck in Lima), Arequipa, Cuzco, and Pasco. I have yet to obtain a pasco 4 reales.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the Reino de Chile (Captaincy General of Chile) was a far away forgotten place in the Spanish dominions in America. In colonial times people were sent there to be punished. Little gold and silver - little interest for the spanish. Its population was very small as you point out. Chile became affluent after it annexed the rich provinces of the north (Atacama, Tarapaca, and Antofagasta) from Peru and Bolivia after the War of the Pacific.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
