Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 08/03/2009 06:37 am The pic of this coin type on WorldCoinGallery isn't all that great, but it's still recognisable. It belongs to the Spanish "predecimal" system. In Spain, and for that matter in the Spanish colonies, there were 34 maravedis to the real, and 16 reales to the escudo. This coin therefore has a face value of 1/34 of a Spanish dollar, or the equivalent of about 3 cents. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
