This is an authentic Spanish Silver 8 Reale Cob Coin from 1771, perfect for collectors of pirate treasure coins. The coin features intricate details and a beautiful tone of silver. This coin was purchased and authenticated from Aureo y Calico.
The coin is a great addition to any collection of world coins, especially for those interested in Spanish history and culture. At one point in the coins long history it has been shaven down to the weight of a 4 reale. The coin was minted originally as an 8 reale cob but has a very unique story and visual appeal. It is very very thick and super interesting in my opinion.
