texas lurker New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/11/2018 4:43 pm I have had this in a box for over 45 years. do not know where I got it. One side has a bundle of spears and maybe a profile with letters around the edge which I can't read. The other side looks like a shield with letters I can't read. It is some kind of bendable metal. Could even be Copper? Any help would be appreciated . thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 04/11/2018 11:05 pm It is a replica of a Spanish "Reyes catolicos" silver real. The original coins dated from the time of Ferdinand and Isabella, early 1500s. Thick brass replicas of these coins, with badly garbled legends, commonly appear on the forum. Example. This is not one of those replicas, as the legends on this con are still clearly readable: on the shield-side, for example, it reads FERNANDVS:ET:ELISABE:D:G. However, given the brassy colour and the blob of green copper corrosion in the centre, I would assume that it is nevertheless not silver and therefore also a replica. Here's an example of a genuine Reyes Catolicos real. 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.
