Item #CC-0399 | 1759 Seville 2 Reales Silver Pendant
Mint: Seville, Spain
Assayer: JV
Ruler/Period: King Ferdinand VI
Description: This simple yet elegant pendant is crafted from silver to compliment the coin it holds. Known as a Pistareen, this 2 reales minted in Seville was one of many that the Spanish empire created from silver returning from the New World colonies. Spanish Galleons filled to the brim departed from Havana, Cuba sending millions of pounds of silver back to Spain to be melted back down into new refined coinage. This piece likely circulated Europe until finally leaving circulation in someone’s collection. If you are looking for your first piece of Spanish treasure, this is the piece for you!
