qktbird Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 8:32 pm Hello, I have this coin or token that I can't seem to identify and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have no idea what it is and I can't read anything on it. I've tried searching ebay for tibetal, bhutan, indian and several other coins and browsed through thousands of listings and cant seem to figure out what this coin is or what language is on it. Please help me out and let me know what it might be. Thanks, Jon Report this Post to the Staff

qktbird Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 12:34 am Thank you for the information! I'm guessing mine must be a replica of it since mine appears to be brass or copper and seems too round as well. What are your thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

diatonix Valued Member Norway 89 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 04:29 am Definitely a phantasy "coin" of no numismatic value (very poor imitation of a Spanish coin from the Catholic Kings period) Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 08:58 am Whenever one encounters a bronze replica of a silver Spanish colonial coin, it is almost guaranteed to be "pirate treasure"--stuff they sell for $0.99-5.00 each at beach gift shops for kids. Notice the legend is scrambled. This frees them from having to stamp an ugly "COPY" on the coin, but still sell it legally in the US. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 6:06 pm We've seen this particular brass replica of a Reyes Catolicos silver real numerous times on the forum before. Here's one posted July last year. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
