Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 07/21/2019 06:14 am I've searched google and I cannot find this exact coin. I've looked on NGC "world coins", etc... The image of this exact coin does not appear. I believe it's a "Reale" but I cannot figure it out. Also U wonder about authenticity as well. The date is worn off by the looks of it.

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 07/21/2019 08:21 am The date is on the pillar side, the lowest of the three lines of script. Looks like 7 0 0 or 7 0 9, for a coin of early 1700s, consistent with Philip V. The rendering of the lions and castles between the crosses does not look like that on an authentic coin, but others out here have a lot more experience with discerning authenticity of these types.

Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 07/21/2019 12:16 pm @nelson9225, I hear that brotha! I am questioning it as well. It definately has wear but is it real wear? Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 12:55 pm It appears to be a copy of this gold 2 escudo coin minted in Lima, 1709. https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...901a9c22c9ad (I've also posted some info on your Ottoman coin which might be helpful, over on that thread) Edited by tdziemia 08/04/2019 1:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 2:46 pm @ Tdz.... You are right on point man! Wow! I looked at some listings on that gold excuse and it's pretty much a perfect match! I guess this is either just a souvenir coin or was an old counterfeit and the gold wore off! And your reply on my other thread, yup it's a Para, definately not a Kurush! Thanks again,a Report this Post to the Staff
Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 09/04/2019 08:20 am Yeah so not only does it closely resemble the Lima Peru Minted 1709 2 Escudo I verified it being Pre 1900 90% Silver on my Sigma! I wonder if maybe it was a piece of old jewelry? Report this Post to the Staff

Jayyk31 Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 04:16 am @jlb1uv... I got it local to me while purchasing some Morgans and Peace dollars. The guy said he had some "Pirate Ship" coins! Lol! I bought the 3 that he had not knowing what they were! 1 was a fake 1817 Saint Martin 1/6 cut 16 Stuivers this coin here in this post and another small 2 Para from Turkey (authentic). Only conclusion I've came to with this is its 90% silver and its looks almost identical to a gold Peruvian 2 escudos! Lol! Except its silver! I think it might just be a cast piece.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 05:55 am I think that this one is fake as well. Evidence of casting bubbles in between the design details. Most probably has a 'greasy' feel to it. Edge join finning has been hammered flat. I have lots of fake ancient silver coins with the same general appearance, as a result of their method of manufacture. Report this Post to the Staff
