I've been collecting chopmarked Trade dollars for some time and have recently been expanding into the realm of chopmarked world coinage, particularly the esoteric and rare pieces. So, I wonder what some of the Forum's longer-tenured members have picked up over the years?

My favorite is this Mexican "Cap & Rays" 8 reales bearing a relief chop that has been identified as "ył" meaning in a general sense "plentiful" and more specifically "abundant in clothing and other goods". As for the other incuse chop on the Phrygian cap, if you rotate that 90° clockwise, I believe you then have the Chinese character meaning "big".
