[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 314562, member: 360"]The dates I'm getting are 1497 - 1869, as being the length of time, from the creation of the dollar, to its obsolescence. Is this correct? Also, what do the markings around the edge of the coin represent? I can see the 8R for 8 Reales, the date (1802). Hispan. Et. Ind. Rex is presumably King of Spain and the Indies. What is the ME that comes after it, or the I.I. in the top left corner? The only thing I can tell for certain is that it's all written in Latin.[/QUOTE]
