Mine will be hard to beat (for myself I mean) even with more than 8 months to go in 2025.

Peru 1 reales:

1768 (VG condition) & 1772 (F condition but cleaned) both considered extremely rare by Yonaka

Both are not holed so that is a bonus.

    What are they exactly?

    The Clement XI medal appears to be a satirical issue. I think it mocks the pope's involvement during the War of Spanish Succession that broke out in 1701. The Latin seems to say, Don't trust a horse to a horse. In the exergue, it says, I think, Let him flee for this time.

    The other medal appears to honor Cardinal Fulvio Giulio, originally from Perugia.
