Old Spanish cob placed in a ring setting... ring possbily from mid to late 1800's... may be even older...neat find regardless ...congrats

Maybe later as well. When did it become fashionable to use Spanish silver as a form of jewellery? What over examples are there out there with these dates? Or are you judging it on crudeness?
(playing devils advocate, I have no idea)

It kind of reminds me of a ring I saw in a Las Vegas "Coin" shop located in one of the casinos. The shop had hundreds of Spanish coins wonderfully polished for the buyer with "discriminating" taste. No doubt the target demographic was the classy dudes who leave the roulette table with a wad of hundreds.

It is still a nice ring and your friend should wear it proudly.

Guess the site of the find would tell the whole story... was it beach find? old colonial site?....very well could be a modern setting...wishful thinking I guess

I,m no expert but that ring looks pretty old, I like how they split the band to show the back side of the coin, great find congratulations. - RonnieAZ

Looks like maybe part of a 1750's or 60's spanish reales to me. I think they started making the spanish silver cross in 1754 or 55. I could be wrong, but it definately resembles one
