  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 ), 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.)

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