Condition wise, today's silver piece may not be the prettiest sight. But, it is the oldest coin in my collection!
And although it has seen better days, I was lucky enough to pay about spot price for it in a bundle deal, so I am not going to complain! An old piece of history for just a couple bucks 🙂
A Spanish 2 reales, minted in 1723!
It's amazing to think when holding it that this baby will be 300 years old in just a year from now! It makes me wonder how many countries and places it went..how many hands it exchanged..how the world was back then.. There wasn't even electricity for fucks shake, lmao.
A lightweight piece, just 6 g of 0.833 silver or 5g of silver. With today's spot, that's about 3.5$.
Here are two pictures from Wikipedia (both public domain) to see how the coin looked in its original glory:
Imo, a real beauty! Feel free to visit numista if you want to learn a bit more about the specs and the depictions on it!
Ok, back to your cage my friend! I won't be touching you again for a long, long time :)

Your 2 Reale coin looks in great shape compared to my 1847 American Trade Dollar I just posted. Which got got toasted & roasted before sitting at the bottom of the South China Sea for 154 years.
Yeah, yours looks total shit lmao
Toasted.
Roasted. (poached)

Not really that shiny unless I give it the scouring pad cleaning 😧
But lotsa interesting history.
You should wear it as a good luck charm
On my penis!

Will the coin have friends in its cage?

No, each coin has a private cage!
Wow, a truly old coin!
I have old piece in my stack but minted 83 years after that one you are showing. It is crown size.

Lovely coin. I have collected in the past myself, and every time I see an old beauty like this it makes me want to go and buy more. There is something about the history of them, as you've pointed out, holding that in your hand and trying to imagine where its been and who else has held it -all very alluring !
