Exciting new purchase.

I have been on a look-out for this reference for a while and happy to be able to add it to my numismatic library. It's a 5 volume set by Tomas Dasi, "Estudio de los Reales de a Ocho", and considered to be an important work on Spanish colonials that also includes laws and decrees pertaining to the minting of the coins across different Spanish mints.

Thanks to good timing and @giorgio11 / @MattTheRiley buying a few of my duplicates I was able to agree on the price with a seller in Uruguay.

There is a set of books you don't find at the local library "friends" sale!

Sometimes there is nothing like a new (set of) books! Nice purchase!

Glad to help!

@TwoKopeiki when you get deeper into the books perhaps you can let us fans of the series know the chief differences between this and some of the other classic references. ¡Muy agradecido!

Kind regards,

I had watched those on ebay but the price, and the fact that I don't read/speak spanish, kept me at bay.
Congratulations they are a great set.
