Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 7:01 pm This is a modern impression (not quite a copy) of a pirate coin, an eight escudos of Peru, circa 1710. They sell them on the boardwalk at the beach in pirate/kite/novelty stores. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 11:36 pm @paulg, first, welcome to CCF. Second, yes I agree with pistareen that this is a modern riff on a pirate coin. It has no numismatic value.
