echizento Moderator United States 21405 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 02:31 am to the community. Looks like a cut Spanish 8 Reale coin made into a 2 Reale coin. Was this found on a beach in Florida? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Pillar of the Community United States 7582 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 02:51 am Nicely done Ron. The only thing that I can add is that it looks like both sides have partial inscriptions visible: REX and 17 (from the date). Added: welcome to CCF @blackfrosst. That is quite a cool find!

Anaximander Valued Member United Kingdom 430 Posts	Posted 07/11/2018 04:20 am That is a lovely piece. Spanish dollars or 8 real coins were cut and counterstamped for use in the West Indies. There was no single system in use. References I have create a picture of official marks vying wth chaos and anarchy. I think the key to identifying exactly where this piece was used is the 'V' shaped symbol. Is it a 'V' containing another letter ( 'T'? ) or is it an arrowhead or something else? British Commonwealth Coinage Howard W A Linecar publisher - Ernest Benn Ltd 1959 has the following possible ( text description only, no images ) Vieque ( or Bieque or Crab Island ) two incuse 'V's one reverse upon the other. It also mentions that there were unofficial marks, so it could be one of those. If anyone has more I would be very interested to hear it. Report this Post to the Staff
