🥇 BANNER 1792 Spanish Silver in excellent condition!

[metaldetectingtaylor]

I noticed the road was being dug up outside my great grandmother’s house so my Dad and I figured we give it a shot. In the past, we found countless 18th century coins and relics but this is our first Spanish silver from here. It looks to be a 1792 Carlos IV 2 Reales from Bolivia. It was probably brought up from the excavator because it was only a couple of inches down in a pile of loose dirt. Love the detail on this one! Only our second Spanish silver in 10 years of detecting!

Wow!!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in that good of shape. I’ll throw my vote in for banner as well. Huge congrats!!

That's crisp! It obviously didnt jingle around in someone's pocket too long. They were common currency until about 1850, but that one looks like it was lost much earlier...like 1792-1793 lol. I've found 3 of them, but not in that shape. You have my vote as well!

Thank you everyone for your Banner nominations and kind words. This is our favorite coin to date. We noticed today that they did a little bit more dirt moving so we're going to go back and give it another sweep. Good luck everyone on this holiday weekend!!!
