*** 1700’s Spanish Silver ***

[☠️🏴☠️SCOLINO🏴☠️☠️]

Find of the day 1781 Spanish Half Reale Potosí Mint mark. Detail is pretty nice considering it’s 238 years old. Detected old farm and cellar. Anyone have any idea how old that hot iron is?

Very nice Spanish silver! If you look up the history of silver mining in Potosi it adds some pretty interesting history to that coin. The only one I've found was mined and minted there too!

Very cool stuff. Those Spanish silvers cannot be easy to find but you make it look easy. Well done!

Interesting relic haul too...!
Hot iron is 1800's I suppose, but you do have earlier stuff, too...!
