Seen these also in cast more often than struck. Silvering over brass
on this I have never seen. Sometimes Jeff brass is all you get.
Counterfeiters knew that if it passed why silver or more likely
german-silver over a brass issue. Every country issuing reales has
its percentage of counterfeits. Careful-do not let your money go into
too many different directions for multiple date examples of a
singular type.
