thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 01/08/2024 8:18 pm I'll go with strange fantasy item. The castles and the shield are unlike any real cob from any of the mints. It might be worth more than melt if it's folk art, but it looks mass produced. One of the lions in the shield looks like a squirrel. Another one looks like a monkey. The pendant attachment looks like part of the casting. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Edited by thq 01/08/2024 8:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 01/10/2024 02:15 am Obviously not any genuine regal piece. Design elements aren't really exact to ANY particular coin of any Spanish mint or era - just sort of "generally imitative of the design". The overall "fabric" of the piece (neat engraving, knowledge of legend inscriptions) is modern rather than "contemporary counterfeit" (fake of that time). Not a piece I've seen before so I don't think it's any kind of mass-produced numismatic replica out of the USA or Europe. While it possibly could be a Central American-type pendant, I would guess it's someone's fairly well-done garage project. Report this Post to the Staff
