It really is! Very evocative of a bygone age.

I wish I had known about coins like this back when they were cheap.
I have another of these, lesser condition, from the 'other' mint.
Not sure if I can get a photo before 1838 slips away..

Meanwhile, bring on the Bust Halves !

1837 8 Reales of the short lived Republic of South Peru (1836-1839), Cuzco mint. The obverse features an Inca Sun, similar but not the same as the Sol de Mayo of Argentina. The reverse features the cornucopia of gold from the Peruvian coat of arms, a blocky tower that some sources cite as the Inca fortress of Saksaywaman overlooking the city of Cuzco, a volcano (perhaps El Misti, one of Peru's most active), and a ship in the ocean. Coincidentally, Charles Darwin noted volcanic activity in the area when he arrived in Lima on the second voyage of the HMS Beagle in July of 1835.

1837 Great Britain halfcrown - King William IV. This was one of the first coins I bought and cost me five shillings (25p) in about 1969!
