Bearing the date 1744, its columns bear abbreviations of the words "PLUS/ULTRA" that appear on period coins of the realm. The "Pillar Dollar" coin device was the product of New World colonial mints; Spain did not produce coins bearing this design.

Nice imitation 'coin button'.

 

[Southern_Digger]

Very nice and rare. The design is similar to that on this Pillar Dollar from one of the Florida Keys shipwrecks of 1733.

Difficult to obtain a 1734 coin from a ship that sunk in 1733 ??
