No 687 - 1755 Silver Half Reale:- This Spanish 1755 Half Reales Coin,

Mexico City Mint.


 Small silver coin minted by

Spanish King Ferdinand VI at the Mexico City Mint. The smallest example of

the so-called "Pillar Dollars" or "Spanish Milled Dollars" which          

were manufactured using   modern techniques beginning in 1732, and which eventually

supplanted the cruder "cobs." A Spanish Half Reales would have been valued

at approximately 3 pence in English currency. Spanish silver coins such as

this were in widespread circulation in the American Colonies, and are

regularly found in American 18th century archaeological excavations.

It is priced at just £2.30 plus postage.
