Nice job!

I would like to find some info on the button. Any ideas?

 

[Zodiacdiverdave]

That's a cool button for sure but I would like to see more of that silver. Can you give us a close up on the coin? Can you make out anything on the coin? What area of the planet did you find this?

ZDD

I assume that's Spanish silver? Could we see the back of the button? Are there any markings on it?

 

[bad Chad]

Yes it a 1 reale from Madrid. The button was found on same site.

 

[bad Chad]

Chad , It looks to me that a very interesting feature of the coin , is that there are three (that i see ) V shaped notches on the edge ,
I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this , as well as the members here .

I thought it was too at first glance, but I don't see a snake or any sort of "13" motif when I look closer. It's a cool button though--big!

 

[bad Chad]

Do you see the knight in armor on it

 

[G.A.P.metal]

At 3 o clock on the button top picture, i think that is a snake head with rattle in it`s mouth i think ?
