Reyes Catolicos Reale?

7 posts
I have this coin which appears to be Ferdinand and Isabella Reyes catolicos Reale but I am struggling to find anything about them to try and accurately identify this particular one.

Plenty of sites and forums have fakes but none of them are silver like the one I have, it has been fully tested and is solid silver and not plated, first using the magnet and then using a chemical test after rubbing a tiny area with fine sandpaper to expose fresh metal, I didn't want to do it but at that point I did not know what it was until after which I cursed

The weight is twice as heavy as the 1 Reale but the same Diameter as it, but I have seen that they can fluctuate in size from various websites

Details

Weight - 7.5 grams
Diameter - 25mm

Pics from digital scope.






Scans which I could not seem to get clear regardless of what DPi I used, the detail is much sharper as the digi scope shows.





Digital 16mp Camera, again hard to get a clear shot.




any input would be very much appreciated.

Very nice coin.:love: it has been on my wishlist for a while. How much did it cost you?
I might reveal that when I get some more opinions. :°

Forgot to add it is a little over 1.5mm thick


I have just found a couple identical to mine for sale on places like numisbids, same legend etc. so the reassurance it is the real deal is more acceptable, the person I got it from has a very good track record and is known to sell some very nice coins so I shouldn't really have to worry about its authenticity.

But I still would like some more opinions. :)

May you add your coin to Numista catalog as 2 Reales - Reyes Catolicos? I will add the years-mint places. Your coin is from Toledo mint.

Yes, please go ahead, I forgot to update the thread, it is the 2 Reales Reyes Catolicos - Toledo Mint, found a couple for sale in Spain which pretty much matched the weight, had to dust off my Spanish to find them.

always happy to contribute. :`
