Spain 1812-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 scarce, even in low grade. It is much scarcer than the SCWC catalog values would indicate. Lower in fineness than contemporary Latin American issues, they were discounted in international trade.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

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

Catalog reference: KM 464, Cayón-15432.
