Kai Ser New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/03/2011 04:24 am Hi all ! After an extensive google search I found a short listing of this coin: Onza, 1709. Olv. PHILIPPVS. V. D. G. I.SPANIAR. A cross potent, with arms of Leon and Castile in the angles, within a circle of pellets. Bev. ET Y N D I A are V M REX. Two crowned pillars standing in the sea; across the field, l-8-h \| p-v-a \| 7-0-9 \| ; the whole within a circle of pellets; above, a crown. 32 mm.; 416 grs. PI. IX, 4. SILVER. This unfortunately does not give me much information regarding it's history (I'm not a collector). How do I call this coin ? Onza 1709 ? And how do I find out if it's real ? Thank you !

It looks like this 8 Escudos coin shown at this link. http://www.coindatabase.com/coin_de...?cdb=H260008 However, your one in the photo looks pale and the features are ill defined, so maybe it is an attempt to simulate an old piece of treasure.

If it's like mine, and like numerous others posted here on the forum like this one, there should be an obvious seam line running all the way around, like you can see in the third pic in the thread I linked to. 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
