Hello GSUS!
I have a coin I need help identifying. I picked this one up from a dealer in NY as a part of a big lot of silver coinage. The dealer wanted to sell his entire inventory (mostly 90% silver coins). Within the tray he had a number of older coins, most of which I am able to identify.
This one, however, I cannot find online anywhere. The only information I was able to gather was by reading various historical papers and articles about the guy on the front of the coin, Caonabo.
On the coin, there is what looks like a mint mark of FJ.
There is also a date stamped on it, though I am not sure of its authenticity. The date reads Siglo XV (15th century).
Please help!
