Owner Comments:
For the 1783 slot I've decided to showcase a nice XF example, counter-marked with the bust of George III from 1797 when it was reissued as legal tender in Great Britain due to a shortage of silver. 1783 is a key date for my collection since it was an impulse purchase of an 1783 8 reales from the wreck of El Cazador that got this all started.
