[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 314937, member: 22"]My Krause catalogues start at 1601, 8 Reales were struck at the Mexico mint between 1598-1621 but look nothing like the more modern 19th century examples. They show 1601 examples from Spain and most of the Spanish provences including Majorca All are 0.9306 silver but many were not milled they were hammered. Some years they were called Escudos which is the Portuguese version. Then some are called Ducaton and Patagon under Spanish Netherlands, Flanders and Tournai. Then it becomes a nightmare :D[/QUOTE]
