In the spirit of speeding this up, was the coin minted between 1828 and 1844?

I can't help living on the edge! My guess is:
1813 Silver 2 Reales from Spain.
Reasons:
1) 1813 - date of Treaty of Valencay
2) Spain - Antonio Soler composed 6 concertos for 2 organs is from Spain.
3) 2 reales - Wikipedia said that Guadalupe Victoria, "Having no resources to pay for food, he made copies of a Latin grammar text to sell to other students for two reales."
Hope I didn't jump the gun! I love this contest. It's neat to see how things are connected throughout history.

No.
Does everyone want to know what it was, or do we have any guesses?

Hey Noah, what do we do now. I really wish people would get excited about this contest. It seems like people get excited before it starts and then forget about it. I love it and wish it would keep going like the Guess the Price contest. I think it would be fun to play also, but this one is more rewarding in the long run to me. I learned things I would have never known by being a part of this and the previous contest. I love learning things about history anyway, but I also learned about 2 beautiful coins I probably wouldn't have ever seen without it. I hope we get to have another round and please get into it people.

I second the motion to reveal the coin's identity.
