Spanish Cob Coin Ring - half reale in Sterling &18Kt
- Description
Spanish 1/2 Real Coin, circa 16-17th Century, in 18Kt Gold Bezel on Sterling Silver Ring.
These historic coins, known to collectors as "cobs" ( a term thought to be a derivative of the Spanish "cabo de barra", or cut from the end of the bar) were minted in silver from the New World riches of the Americas. Of the five silver denominations minted, the largest was the eight reales, or "pieces of eight". The smaller denominations were four reales, two reales, one reale and half reale. Although the full details are not always clear, due in part to the haste with which the coins were produced, the front features a cross, ranging from plain, to one with curved or straight bars on the ends, known as a " Jerusalem cross". The reverse usually depicts the coat of arms of the ruling family of Spain, either the Hapsburgs or the Bourbons, or, on half reales, the monogram of the current ruler.
Dimensions; 3/4" Diameter top, ring size 10. Certificate of Authenticity

Awesome store and staff! I have been buying jewelry from them since 1975. They have a fabulous selection and really great prices. Their sealife selection is the best around. I love to peek into their Estate cases when I visit. I always find a treasure to bring home.

Really nice selection of jewelry, lots of sea-themed pieces. Julie helped me get a lovely larimar piece and aquamarine ring. Wanted to get more but couldn’t. Next time!

The Cedar Chest carries very beautiful, unique jewelry of the highest quality. I have made many purchases over the years, both in the store and online, and I've always been more than happy with the pieces I've chosen. My most recent purchase was online. I trust them completely. I ordered a medium size rose-gold periwinkle earring and pendant set with a diamond in the centers. They are so beautiful. I want to wear them always! Shelley handled my order with care. She was wonderful. Thanks again, Shelley!
