    This has been in my family for many decades. Although, we don't know who's it was, or even where it came from. Is it Spanish? (coins say 1/4 real) on one side, and the other side has the years 1896, and 1897. It show 3 mountain peaks, with a sun (rising?) Japanese?. It's always been a mystery to us. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      The Middle "PEAK", I believe is a Volcano. See the Smoke?

      Right, I forgot to mention that! Perhaps it is Japanese?

      I think these are 1896 Guatemala silver 1/4 Real coins.

      They're Guatemalan, 835 silver, or 83.5%. If they were Japanese, they wouldn't have English writing on them, lol

      If from Guatemala, why would they have Eng. on them. I spent a little time there. They finally had to release me.
    6. Stillwater Stillwater, 12 years ago
      Well they don't have Enlgish on them actually, "real" is pronounced "ray-AL" AL like in Albert. Its a Spanish word

      Oh. I really didn't take time to look. I thought it was spelled "reale". Now that I've opened my mouth, I'll go back & look. I do that often. Well, they are Quetzal's now.

      He means they have Latin Lettering instead of Kangi
    9. Stillwater Stillwater, 12 years ago
      Kanji actually. He actually meant that it was an English word intstead of Spanish, but its a Spanish word in fact.
