The Castine, Maine cobs

[cuzcosquirrel]

I've always thought this was an interesting cross section of coins circulating in the 17th century North American colonies. Notice the two very rare and unusual cobs attatched to this find: a transitional Potosi or Columbia mint 8 reals, and a 1659 star of Lima 8 reals.
