jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 04/30/2018 9:39 pm Wow, struck over a coin dated 1788. Does it looks like the coin was plated? Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7962 Posts	Posted 04/30/2018 10:58 pm coinarchives shows two recent sales of examples in similar grade to the one posted at 135 and 160 euro. That was quite a cool lot! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 01:02 am 1988 is the year of Australia's bicentenary. Therefore, this coin has some Australian significance. Report this Post to the Staff
colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 10:22 am Its an interesting piece - most contemporary circulating counterfeits I have seen are of German Silver. I have seen only (3) all German Silver. As a previous post comment has indicated this appears to be silver plated as the photo suggest surface peeling and note the green? overtones. Weights vary in these pieces. Probably struck over a counterfeit 2 Reales piece dated 1788? Very unusual piece. John Lorenzo Numismatist United States Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 02:54 am My impression is that it's a genuine coin with environmental issues due to being used in a hot/humid environment. Really not uncommon to see brown and green crud forming on the surface of these coins. Also, what visible remnants there are of the host coin are a perfect match to a peninsular Spain 2 reales of this year, as far as shape and style. If it were a CCC I'd expect some differences.
