Johnathan55 Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 11/07/2018 10:55 pm Found this oddity in a mixed bag of world coins. I'm guessing it's a Spanish 50 cent coin with an engraving on one side? Usually I'm against defacing coins, but it is pretty. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16470 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 6:22 pm Given that there are two of them that are more or less identical, I would assume it to be a tourist piece, rather than a true "love token". I'm not entirely certain, as the artwork is somewhat stylized, but it may be a locally crafted souvenir piece from Morro castle on Puerto Rico. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
