1814 Ferdinand VII half real

[toasted]

Well its been over a month and around a dozen trips to the site where a circa 1730 house once stood. Lots of good finds spanning 17th-20th century but I finally found a silver older than a seated here. Little beat up but considering its only my second Spanish silver out of 8 with a date; I love it.

I would love to find Spanish silver in any condition, great score. Is that a conestago bell you got there?

Sweet find! That is fantastic. Good there are lots more in your future!

congrats on the "very nice" coin because in my book, it would be an excellent find! even the busted bell is very cool, I would find a spot for it too.

One of my favorite finds of all times. I have plenty of Corolus varieties, but only one Ferdi.

Yep, old Ferdi has the distinction of being monarch when Spain lost most of its empire. He was also deposed by Napoleon for awhile too
