<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2275794, member: 76194&quot;]I don&#039;t have pictures because it&#039;s in my safety deposit box at the bank, but it was my great-grandfather&#039;s Spanish 25 pesetas gold coin from 1878. It was one of about 20 that he had with him when he moved his family from Spain to Cuba in 1890 (that was all the money he had). He kept one as a memento to remind him of Spain and it&#039;s been passed down from father to son ever since.</p><p><br /></p><p>He was 22 at the time, didn&#039;t have a son until he had my grandfather at the age of 57 with his second wife, my grandfather passed it to my father (his son in law, as he only had daughters), and my father passed it to me. One day I hope to pass it on to my son.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
