Colonists in British North America were not allowed to mint money of their own, even though they often ran out of English coins to use in day-to-day business. Instead, they resorted to using whatever coinage they could get their hands on. The most common coin used during this time was the silver Spanish dollar, which was worth 8 “reales,” a unit of currency in Spain. This reproduction Spanish Dollar or Piece of Eight has a lovely green patina.

The coin is 1 inch across and hangs on 16 inches of chain.
