    I don't know my world coinage other than recognizing the Pillar and seeing a Netherlands coin shown in the Red Book.

    Is that a communications satellite on that 1819 coin?

    OK. These are examples of foreign coins that circulated as legal tender in early America.



    The first coin is a dollar sized issue - a 1819-R Brazil 960R, Joao V Type, PCGS MS65.



    The second coin is a 1589 Lion Dollar (Daalder), Netherlands - Holland, PCGS MS63. It circulated in early Dutch controlled New York.

    The obverse legend translates as: MO.NO.ARG. - .ORDIN.HOL: New Silver Coin of the Standard of Holland

    The reverse legend translates as: CONFIDENS.DNO*NON*MOVETVR: Confidence in the Lord is not moved



    The third coin is a 1749-Mo MF Mexico 8 Reales Pillar Dollar, struck at the Mexico City mint, Ferdinand VI Type, PCGS MS64.



    The fourth coin is a 1749 Netherlands 10s, Holland Province, PCGS MS64. It also circulated in early Dutch controlled New York.

    Very cool - I'll call them 'grayside' - coins. Each one beautiful in it's own way.
    PS - I have a countermarked 8R similar to your avatar, but it's the small oval variety,
    counterstamped on a Carolus III coin. Yours is in far more better condition than mine though.

    Ahh. Nice narrative to go along with those beauties.

    Happy to learn.

    Appreciate it, MLC.

    MLC, you have a darned good eye. Great details and toning on all of those. In particular, the Lion Daalder has a superb strike for that design.

    I love the "coins that circulated in early America" theme and the coins you posted are gem's (perhaps literally)
