So my local jewelry seller, or as I refer to her my supplier and enabler, lol, had a few bits and pieces for me last week, amongst them this cufflink. I thought it was a fantasy piece, even though she kept insisting it was a real coin. When I looked at the back, well it does seem to be a real coin. I think the front says Carolus and there's some other lettering then Rex, and the year 1788. From what I've found on the Interwebz, it's a Spanish/Mexican coin called a Real? Don't know if it's worth anything, especially in this condition, and converted into a cufflink. Any information greatly appreciated. I thought it was a handsome piece in any case, would have loved to have the set. I hope you enjoyed seeing it, and thanks for looking.

CW deleted a tribute post for my beloved doggy Tango who passed sunday...
I said I planed to delete it after some days, but they did it before I could thank all for the so kind words posted!
Oh kyratango, I am so sorry to hear of your little dog passing. I didn't get to see the tribute thread, either. Deepest sympathies for your loss.
Requiescat in pace, Tango, beloved friend of kyratango.
The coin looks like an 8 maravedis 1788 of the Segovia mint. It is a copper coin that looks gold plated.
Thanks for the love, Alan2310, and charlestooterpie. :)

Thank you, sweet Kath for your words :-)

Kyratango, I lost a beloved cat not too long ago, still mourn her. Very hard to lose one of our companions. Can't wait to see her on the other side.
Thanks for the love, Trey, and lovedecanters. :)
