When I saw this at a distance I thought it was a Panamanian Pill, but not so. I have no idea where it was minted, but I'm guessing South America. Any help will be appreciated. image

    Not South America, but Central America... hang on a sec... just so happens I brought a 19th C. Krause to work today...

    Bingo.

    Guatemala, KM162, .903 silver/.0220 oz. 2nd Edition Krause says 989,000 minted, catalogs $0.50 in F / $0.75 VF / $1.50 XF / $2.25 UNC.

    Absurdly undervalued, if you ask me (at least the UNC price). Granted, there ain't a lot of silver there, but it's a cool little teeny thing. I'd be a buyer at full Krause.

    Thanks Rob. I went from Guatemala to Guatepeor (only the Spanish speakers will get that image ), but overlooked that one, even though I did look at Honduras and Costa Rica.

    Honduras and Costa Rica were certainly both possibilities.

    (And I got the "Guatepeor" joke.) image

    Isn't the 8 point sun emblem part of their state seal?
