The hole does decrease the value and the overall grade of the coin. I would say that in this condition it is worth about 10 pounds. Report this Post to the Staff
Mitch_1960 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 10/19/2008 04:19 am Thank you for your opinion Archraz. I have my question - do you know what meaning have capital letters ''S'' and ''J''. And the holes in the coin were useful for people to carry as a neacklace. It says on the website. Once again thank you. Kind Regards Mitch Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 10/19/2008 08:47 am G'day, if I recall correctly, the letters "S.J." are the initials of the assayer, or perhaps the mint-master. If you google "Spanish Dollar", you'll get plenty of lines of reading. The two-reales was one-quarter of the Spanish Dollar. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 10/19/2008 5:17 pm The R stands for "reales", the S stands for the mint "Seville", and the "J" is the assayers initial. So you have (as correctly identified by Archraz) a Spanish 2 reale minted in Seville with the assayer initial "J". KM#307 if you care to look it up in a Krause/Mishler reference book.
