tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7973 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 08:42 am Great find! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37869.html I'd keep it not only for the story behind it, but also for the historical significance. The Republic of Nueva Granada was a transitional state between the Spanish colony of Nueva Granada and present day Colombia. So you also have a coin of a no-longer-existing issuing authority (some collectors focus on such things). Report this Post to the Staff
