Quote: Good to see the Capped Bust still making appearances. Although I like to post a variety of denominations, it looks like I'll have to use US half dollars for 1824, 1821, 1819, 1813, 1809, and 1803.

1825 Central American Republic 8 Reales, Guatemala City mint. This is the second year of a coin that was issued from 1824 to 1847 although the republic was officially dissolved in 1841. During its existence the republic consisted of the territories of the former Spanish Captaincy General of Guatemala -- Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Los Altos (which would become the Mexican State of Chiapas).

Quote: I am not sure why mine is different from the one above. GR58 - yours is the earlier type, mine the later type. Rumour has it that King George IV disliked the first portrait and ordered the coins to be redesigned.

1824 8 Reales from the Potosi mint in Alto Perú (Upper Peru), which would be renamed Bolivia in honor of the general and political leader Simón Bolívar. The principal royalist forces remaining in the former Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru were defeated in 1824, with the final battles concluding in Upper Peru in 1825 marking the end of Spanish rule in South America.
