Spain 1811-C SF 2 reales

from the Mountain Groan Collection

This type was struck in Madrid 1814-33, in Seville 1815-33 and in Cadiz 1810-12. This specimen is a product of the Catalonia mint (Palma de Mallorca) and is rather scarce. Lower in fineness than contemporary Latin American issues, they were discounted in international trade. A rare variety exists with the assayer's initials reversed as "FS".

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 6.77 g, 0.812 fine silver, .176 troy oz ASW.

Catalog reference: Cayón-15413, KM 464.
