Took the M6 to a local park the other day and found my oldest silver yet. It is a 1739 2 Reale Silver Coin. It was down about 6 inches and registered a solid 82 on the VID.

I believe that the Reale was used a a primary form of currency in this country until the mid 1850's.
The Medieval kingdoms of Spain were united by the marriage of Isabella of Castile and Fernando II of Aragon in 1479.
The coinage was reformed in 1497...gold coinage was the excelente, 2,3,4,10 and 20 excelentes.
Silver coins ranged from the 1/2 to the 8 reales.
Small change was the maravedis (i reale = 34 maravedis.
There were seven mints in Spain but the U.S. found coins most likely came from the Mexico City mint, Sano Domingo on Hispaniola, Bolivia, Lima, or Guatemala.
