1746-1759 Ferdinand VI Silver 1/2 Real

Imagine the excitement when you give a 1746-1759 Spanish Colonial silver 1/2 Reales – the legendary coins sought after by pirates, used by American colonists and accepted as U.S. legal tender until 1857! Now over 260 years old, and struck at Spanish colonial mints in Mexico, Central and South America, these Fine/Very Fine silver cobs were transported by sailing ships across the sea – that is if they weren't plundered by pirates first. Scurvy seadogs like Blackbeard, William Kidd, and Henry Morgan sailed the seas, robbing ships laden with riches. Landlubbers, sailors and rascals will all want one of these historic coins!
