I have had these coins for a VERY long time and have been unable to identify them since I have owned them. Any help with identification would be most appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

notrepidation New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/21/2012 11:44 am Any idea on the 6 stamps on the back and one stamp on the front of the Spanish coin are? I am a HUGE history buff. It gives me chills trying to think about where that coin has been, it's history, why it was stamped like that, who's pockets it has been in. Just very cool IMO. I know the condition of both is less than desireable but any thought on value. They will end up going to my kids either way but one is always curious. And thanks for the help thus far!
