This type was known as a 'Columnario', 'Dos Mundos' or 'Pillar Dollar' from the reverse design depicting the Pillars of Hercules, wrapped with the national motto of Spain 'PLUS ULTRA' (further beyond), framing two globes, representing the old and new worlds. You'll see an example of this type prominently displayed in the front of the Red Book in the section for "An Introduction to United States coins" (page 11 in my 2017 copy).

Spence Moderator United States 34511 Posts	Posted 02/26/2019 3:00 pm @numisma, well I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got. It seems like participation dwindles a bit with each century that we go back, so you have perfect timing in my book. Just in case you missed all the others, here is one more Skilling from Denmark dated 1771 AD: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Nice coin! 1770 JR 8 Reales Bolivia / Viceroyalty of Peru PTS (Potosi) = Bolivia.

jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 02/27/2019 08:43 am Here, I am using the designation appropriate to when the coin was minted. Neither the country of Peru or Bolivia existed at that time. Both the Lima mint and Potisí mint were governed by the Spanish Empire from the Viceroyalty of Peru.
