Carlos III 8 Reales, 1776-P, Guatemala, KM36.2, Gunmetal grey color, NGC Certified VF Details, with a contemporary made hole, probably worn as a talisman.  This coin and others of similar vintage was a mainstay of commerce in Colonial America. This coin was discovered along with an 1804 King George III, 5 Shilling Dollar, which also appears to be struck on another 8 real coin which was the custom at that time.  The  Guatemalan 8 Real is listed as the key date of the series in the SCWC and valued at $2500 in VF.
