Spain 1817Seg 2 maravedis rev DSLR.jpg

The Spanish mints feature large issues of a variety of copper coins which did not circulate at all in the Spanish American colonies. In the predecimal system which obtained until 1847, 34 maravedis = one real of silver. This two maravedis was worth 1/136 of a dollar; history does not record the reason for the odd division. This type was struck in Segovia 1816-33 (note the aqueduct mintmark) and was accompanied by copper one, four and eight maravedis. The type is not rare but scarce in nice condition.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: copper, 3.02 g, 18.5-19.5 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: Cayón-limonite, KM 437.1.
