alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 7:30 pm Thanks. That's what happens when you run out of paper coin envelopes to write on. (And old age too) Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54283 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 7:33 pm I have a small collection of token/medals from Peru, Columbia and Bolivia. Edited by nss-52 02/07/2017 7:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 7:34 pm Although, when I look at my post from five years ago, I'm still no closer to identifying it. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 7:55 pm I wonder: could this be a fake? It is suppose to be dated 1856, and I could find two sites with this type of coin/medal on it (found here and here (it is near the bottom of that last link, and is written in Spanish)). The details do not look right—especially the hat above the book, and the thing the person is holding—and the weight seems too light. Now, I do not know much when it comes to counterfeits, so hopefully someone else has some input on that. Report this Post to the Staff
Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 11:18 pm Looks like a Bolivian proclamation coin. It's hard to find complete listings of these, but there is a book out threre devoted to them. Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/09/2017 7:45 pm I'd be really interested in the book as I have quite a few Melgarejo proclamation pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 02/14/2017 12:14 am The book also seems to hard to find, but here is a link to the Amazon listing just to give you the title and author. https://www.amazon.com/Bolivian-Pro...p/0934693005 Here is a second link that will find it in a library http://www.worldcat.org/title/boliv...lc/656489845 Edited by Rdwarrior 02/14/2017 12:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
