ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 03/14/2013 12:39 pm Not sure if they are real or repro. My scale is broken, but the larger is ~18 x 20mm, the smaller ~13 x 19mm. Less than 1mm thick. Not sure of the metal, thought they were bronze but the more recent scratches show a brassier-looking metal. Report this Post to the Staff

Jim Delaney Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 12:21 pm The bottom one appears to be a copper 4 Maravedis dated 16"90" and if memory serve me correctly what looks like the right side of a "R" mintmark for Cartagena, Colombia. Nice Spanish colonial Cob coin. Report this Post to the Staff
ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 03/15/2013 3:05 pm Thanks! To clarify the pictures, each picture shows both coins-- I shouldn't have done it that way, sorry! I took a picture of one side (both coins together) then turned them over and shot the other side. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim Delaney Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 03/17/2013 2:12 pm Okay, the info provided is for the one one the left. I assume the other one is from the same time period but it is too "well loved" to get anything from it. Report this Post to the Staff
