Mckinley_4th Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 1:55 pm I was given this from my mom and I'm not sure what it is! It's not magnetic and has some weight to it! Don't know what the symbols are or mean! If anyone has any idea what, where and or how old it is, I'd appreciate it a lot! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 5:28 pm Unfortunately, it's a replica of a Spanish colonial "cob" coin. Specifically, a 4 reales, or half-dollar, dated 1753. I can be sure it's a replica because this company is selling coins exactly like it - same shape, date, denomination etc. These replicas are often used in "pirate jewellery". 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
