  1. Col..err...Corina, That is a 6 Tornesi. Can you take a pic of the bust?

     

    Coinage:

    In the second period of his Kingdom (July 1799-1806), Ferdinand minted silver piasters with the thousandths 1799, 1800 and 1802, and therefore 1804 (very rare); finally in 1805, he minted an artistic piaster and an half piaster. As concerns copper , he eliminated the 10, 8 and 5 tournois coins and minted 3 and 2 grain coins, i.e. 6 and 4 tournois coins bearing the portrait of the Sovereign, and also the grain of 1800 , the 9, 4 and 3 horses coins.

  2. Mexican 1814 1/4 Real copper with Ferdinand VII in a COINSTAR machine, about 3 years ago. Really worn, but it's all there. BTW, ALWAYS check the machine's coin return on your way out of the store. The machines will spit out anything off-sized, and most people don't know this when they pour in a big accumulation of change.
