Does this have any value?

If so, what might that value be? TIA

interesting- I would think it has value but it would have to make its way to the right people/collectors- I have no idea what something like that could fetch- I suspect the value will depend when it was done

Commonly known as the 'head of an ass on the neck of a fool'.

It appears to be a once-silver-plated counterfeit Carlos IV 8 Reales from Mexico City with a George III oval counterstamp (also counterfeit). Might be worth $50-80 bucks to the specialized collector. There's a guy in St. Catharines who collects portrait counterfeits - let me know if you want his contact info.

Roman- d'you think the counterfeiting is contemporary? Certainly doesn't look modern to me.

I would imagine that such a (contemporary) counterfeit would have some kind of value, to the right person.

Edit- aha- you were editing while I was posting.

Thanks Roman. Yes, please PM me his contact info.
