2 Reale from the old fairgrounds

[7creeks]

UPDATE: More finds from the late 1800's fairgrounds

Tried out a 15" WOT Coil at the old fairgrounds I've been hunting. Hunted about an hour and found this sweet 1806 2 Reale 13" deep. Gotta love old silver. This is the oldest coin from this site so far. Everything else is from the 1860s to 1890s.

Great find! Nothing gets my blood pumping like an 19th century or older coin!

7creeks,
Your welcome.
BTW, the 'ME' is part of the monogram 'LIMAE' indicating the coin was produced at the mint in Lima, Peru.
The 'I' and the ''J are the initials of the assayers, Ignacio Zenón Gélves and Juan Martínez de Roxas who worked together from 1787-1803.
Don.......

amazing find. That sure sounds like a great place to hunt. I wouldn't mind the wear or the hole, so if they bother you I'll send you my address.
Bravo!
