The coin is dated 1870, no matter what denomination. To be sure, try measuring the diameter. If it is 25 mm (about 1 inch), then it's 5 Centesimos If it's 30 mm (about 1 1/5 inch) then it's 10 Centesimos. The coin itself is fairly common in this worn state and is pretty common, you can probably find a similar one for 25 cents at your local coin shop.

bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 2:20 pm It is definitely a 10 centimos: I can read very clear the "CIEN" of "CIEN PIEZAS EN KILOGRAMO" (100 pieces in a kg). If it were the 5 centimos it would have read DOSCIENTAS; for the 2 centimos QUINIENTAS and for the 1 centimo MIL Edited by bart 08/03/2016 2:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
