Need information on a coin/country

ajaan

OK, the particulars are kinda fuzzy. Has anyone ever heard of the country/region/state of Esparanza? I hope that is how it is spelled. A friend of mine is evaluating a collection and he ran across a coin from there. He said the denomination begins with an 's'.

That is really more information than any of us needed!

There is the city of Esperanza in Argentina ajaan.

IIRC, there was a movement in the late 1800's and early 1900's to create a 'universal' language called "Esperanto." Some of the activity to promote this was the issuance of a form of 'money' denominated in 'Scudos' [again, IIRC]. Maybe this item is one of those 'coins?'

Just a wild guess...
