    Hi,
    I tried reading up a little on this particular coin. Supposedly Potosi Bolivia and dated 1700. It tests positive as silver and weighs 17.8g. From reading a few things this weight is light. Also read that weights can vary depending on various things. Just wondering what this is and if it’s fake. Any help is very much appreciated

    Not expert in coins, just having some Medieval English coins. Yours looks authentically hammered and don’t think anyone would fake in that shape!

    These are heavily counterfeited, its best you ask on our sister site CoinTalk, there are people there that know about these.
