Hope the Spanish coin is a good grade but I doubt the SA is worth much.

8 quid for the Spanish coin I think is quite good value. It might be worth like 20 euros or so, I might be wrong but I remember buy coins like that is okay condition for about that.
You made a ring out of an old Spanish coin?

Read the numbers inside every of the two stars close to the year under the king Alfonso XII bust and write here for valuation. Must be 18 - 76 if readable. 8.547.961 coins minted. Also please weight. Around 20 euros if not a fake

An "EF40" 2 1/2 shillings from South Africa is on our local bidding site for approximately $290.00 at the moment. Just saying.
