1780 Carlos III Spanish 4 Reales [solved]

Hi all,

This is a 4 Reales coin I have in my (messy) collection that I couldn't find on the catalogue. Does anyone owning it have any more info they can give? Is it a real thing? The only 4 R coin from Carlos III in the numista catalogue is this:

Diameter: 34.5 mm
Weight: 13g (probably more in mint condition)

Many thanks!

Hello and welcome, Kissavos

Have you posted any photo of your coin? I cannot see it.

Oh man, too bad it has a hole, I would have swapped for it.

Hi all,

Thanks for your replies. It's not actually the one posted by redsmithstudios, as it's minted in Potosi. The coin I have is this one:

The question is, is it real, since I measure it to ~34.5 mm (give or take the 0.5mm) whereas it's cited as 32 mm. Not interested in a swap or sale since it has sentimental value btw :)

Also, should it be added to the numista catalogue since it's missing from the Spain coins list?

Cheers!

Should be this one, searched under Bolivia,

Do you have any other coins like this that you would swap?

Thanks for that tip, I did find it now! I'm afraid that's the oldest coin I have, if you're interested, I happen to have 3 of the following:

So I could part with 2. Will probably need some help with grading them though.

Those are very cool coins, l am sure people will want them. Just post photos here for help on grades

Yes, it should be added to the Numista catalog, but not under Spain but under Bolivia, since your coin is the Bolivian 4 reales 1780PR KM# 54:
