Hi,

While looking for post-spanish south american coins, I did bid on this one which I particularly liked. OK, it's not one I should be looking for, but I liked the design, and the fact that it was stuck over a Carolus IIII 8 reales.
Part of the king's name and ordinal is clearly visible - I didn't managed to get the date though (mostly because the big cross from the other side of the coin is inverted where the date should be)

Hope you like it :)
