Could anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers Image: 1.jpg 28.96 KB Image: 1r.jpg 86.27 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 02/11/2007 5:38 pm Your obverse is pretty blurry so its difficult to look at and the best I can see is that it is Ferdinand VII. I'm not a Mexican coinage expert but try looking under Mexican Royal Coinage KM#59, though the obverse & reverse descriptions are different for that year than your photos. So that leaves a little more research to validate if 1.) Its a different Spanish colony, 2.) Krause publications is wrong, or 3.) Its a fake Here's some of the technicals from Krause on 1815 1/16 REAL: Composition is copper Obverse - Crowned FVII Monogram Reverse - Castles and Lions in Wreath Mint Mark - M,Mo Edited by Ken_3567 02/11/2007 5:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sinbad Valued Member France 98 Posts	Posted 02/12/2007 01:53 am Thank you Ken spot on found it under "War of independence/ Mexico" it is definitely a 1/2 Real Draped bust of Ferdinand VII, the only other thing was the mint marks could someone tell me where I could look for them?
