Did the new independent states even have their own mints so early, or did they rely on the old mother country. Lets not blast away yet, we should snipe him.


Most of them did.

I'm going to assume that "really great" is a pun and it's some sort of Spanish Real

I assume Peru and Chile did, because Spanish colonials had been minted in Lima and Santiago. Brazil coins were minted in Lisbon before 1807 and in Brazil thereafter. Early post-independence Argentina used the Potosi mint and there were a lot of [provincial issues (let's hope we don;t have to go there).

Assumption will usually get you into trouble, but until we narrow it down some more, that's where I'm at.

Nice!
If so, that eliminates Brazil, I think, which used reis and escudos.

Let's see what answer we get to before 1800.

If yes, that will eliminate Argentina and Ecuador as best I can tell? If denominated in reals, that puts us in Chile or Peru.
