<p>[QUOTE="jollyrancher, post: 376444, member: 901"]Guys, thanks for your comments. I have to say, though, that I am STUPID about this piece. Even after reading your comments, I can't make heads or tails about what it is. The fact that it is stamped "Atocha 1622" on the second photo, top left, means what exactly? I guess I will take this to my local coin place, but was hoping to have a ballpark as to what this is and what it's worth. I'm kind of clueless on this because I'm not familiar with coins at all. Thanks so much for any additional information, served up "dummy style" for me, please! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Also, what does the R&S monogram mean on the one side? I have looked for examples of this particular monogram on Spanish coins and can't find any like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
