MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 04/09/2012 02:18 am Maybe in Australia, but Spain (and Europe and north africa - I'm not sure about Asia which may have had small lingots / balls of metal) had coins since a while ;) Actually it's not totally right, as Spain was not united by then, and was divided in many small provinces with a few big ones (Castille, Leon, Aragon). Here is for example a half crown (it has nothing to do with the UK crown - weight wise - it's just its name) for Sanche IV of Castille (1284-1295) : Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 04/10/2012 3:48 pm Interesting piece... Transposed digit errors are known on a few Spanish/Spanish Colonial pieces. For example, I believe there are something like (7) pcs. of "1872" dated Mex 8R that were found on El Cazador wreck (error for 1782). Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/03/2013 2:53 pm Very clearly transposed digit--that's really dramatic! It makes you wonder if the mint noticed, and how many were struck. Report this Post to the Staff
colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 02/04/2013 09:40 am Its a cuban recirculation countermark and its on a debased silver contemporary counterfeit Spanish 2R. I see brass or yellowish tinges coming through the silver. There are many debased hosts with this recirculation Cuban countermark. Value: $75-up.
