Since I am one of those people who could care less about football I will go cruising instead on the Bay of E. Perhaps I'll get lucky. I will look at your goodies for sure.

I also could care less about which team wins the game, but it's an excuse to drink beer, so I won't be on ebay.

Since when do you need an excuse to drink beer?

Aethelred,

Can you tell me a little more about the first 8 reals that you have pictured. I really like the design.

Thanks
Steve

When the auction starts a bit later tonight you'll find more info listed there, but in a nutshell:

It was issued by the Central American Republic, a nation that lasted only for about 20ish years. Krause does not give any mintage figures, but most coins from CAR are scarce, this is the first one that I can recall owning.
