Let’s see some coins from the early Latin American Republics
My favorite designs are from the republics post Spanish rule. Let’s see some!

The OP asked for coins from independent countries after Spanish rule. Portraits of a king like your coin indicate that was pre-independence.

This is my favourite Mexican coin, even when it was minted in Tegucigalpa, back then part of Mexico. Yes, back then was not a republic, but it is already independent...

This one is as early as you can get a republican coin in Latin America:
You will have to define "early"

You guys know that I don't collect Latin American coins, but I love seeing all of yours! @Boosibri - not sure how I missed this Bolivar 8 Sol if you have posted it before. But scrolling through this thread (with a lot of great coins) it stopped me in my tracks. Looks totally original.
Dynamite coin!
My current "Box of 20"

Another rare one...

In his books on the CAR, Roberto Jovel mentioned that this is one of the rarest coins of the Republic:

Brazil became an independent nation in 1822

Nice coin but Again you are missing the point of this thread. the portrait of a Spanish king means your coin was issued under colonial rule.

Ah, I recognize my old South Peru 8 Reales. Sure looks nicer in that TrueView.
I replaced it with this one, a slightly more common variety.

In the upcoming HA sale. KM has it as the rarest & Restrepo 2nd rarest date of type (Bogota of this type many times rarer than Popayan in decent grade). Next best is a Good-6 at PCGS.

@jgenn, Nice 'Federacion' piece. As for the 'Confederacion' piece, always a pleasure to know where a coin came from and, from the other side, where it ended up. As far as I know, CRO bought it out of the Sept. '19 Long Beach auction and crossed it to PCGS before I bought it from them about a year ago. The TrueView is pretty spectacular.
I have one other, a 1838-CUZCO MS in AU58 that I could not pass up also with a striking TrueView. Love the color on both pieces.

The former Spanish Colony known as the Capitania General de Chile became an independent country after the defeat of the royalist forces on the plains of Chacabuco in early 1817.
The government of the young new country wasted no time in issuing its first coinage in the same year. Three major varieties of the Chilean Volcano peso, the first coin of Independent Chile, exist. In chronological sequence: 1817 with assayers F and J, 1817 without an assayer, and finally 1817 with assayers F and D.
1817 without an assayer was only issued in for one short month (probably August of 1817) during which the mint was left without an assayer. This is the example from my collection.

Another Volcano peso from my collection: 1818/7 F.D

Great looking coins @Eddi. Have you seen the unique 1826 Peso in the British museum?

I don't have a single piece from this genre.
But damn. There are some outstanding coins in this thread.
