here is my only SA coin to date. 1891 Peruvian Sol with a 1894 Guatemalan Peso counterstamped in it. Cool looking olive green toning, and an NGC MS64

Bill, this large 4 centesimos copper is absolutely magnificent.

I briefly owned a very similar in its reverse design 2 centesimos full red specimen from Paraguay, but it wasn't even close. There's something about its colour that makes it totally irresistible.

Edited to add image of the 2 centesimos:

Collecting South American coins is wonderful, you can acquire old beauties and keep the farm too.

The photo doesn't do the 1827 Peru real justice - it has iridescent color and luster especially on the reverse, I really need to re-image that one.

I agree with Syracusian, and his Uruguay 10 centesimos is a looker as well.

Civitas - Is that Chilean piece a medal? She's a keeper.

It's an 8 escudos (gold coin) pattern, apparently struck in copper.

Here's a regular issue:

Thanks for the info Lynch - Nice coin too and I'm very fond of the Central American Republic issues as well, wrong thread though...

1617 8 Reales recovered from the Atocha. Fist dated South American coin.

I looked for years for a nice speciman balance and scales. Bought this raw some years ago. Now a pcgs 64.

Maybe the original poster might want to consider changing the title of this thread from

"TGIF: let's see your South American coins!"
to
"TGIF: let's see your Latin American coins!"

because the thread seems to be attracting pictures of attractive coins from Central America as well as those of South America.
