I believe it is from the Central American Republic due to the designs on the front and back but I can't be sure. Does anyone have any info that can help me in an ID? The bottom image is not clear but I can tell you that it is a sun with rays to the left and its rays are shinning over/on a mountain. This design is consistent with other coins of the Central American Republic. Report this Post to the Staff

This coin is not particularly scarce as it is $6 in Fine. This may just be due to the picture as well as the low grade of the coin, but your coin doesn't look very much like silver.

If I recall correctly, the silver content of these CAR quarter-reales wasn't monitored as carefully as for the larger coins, with many genuine examples coming out looking decidedly brassy. 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
