wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 06/08/2008 4:44 pm Since I have no life, I picked this up for absolutely no reason. The reverse is blank. The coin appears to consist of copper, but I am not sure. Any Ideas? Image: Molina_obv.jpg 74.76 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 06/08/2008 8:29 pm When I saw the pic, the words "South American revolutionary" came to mind. I'm not quite sure why because, though it looks stylistically similar to early 1800's revolutionary coins, it doesn't really match anything in the catalogues. I've never heard of a denomination "molina". I'd assume it was a name, of either the city or place of issue, or the person that issued it. There is a town in Chile and a district in Peru by this name. I would read the denomination to be "1/8th" - if my South American guess is correct, then it would be 1/8th of a real. If, however, this token was picked up at the same time and place as this other one, then maybe it's from somewhere nearby. There is a town named Molina in Switzerland, too. You're sure the other side is completely blank? 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.
