1763 BOLIVIA POTOSI MINT 1 REAL COB COIN CHARLES III

Charles III of Spain (reigned 1759-1788)




Potosi Bolivia - The city was at its most splendorous during the 16th century and grew to become one of the most populated cities in the world, surpassing even the largest cities in the Old World. It was culturally and architecturally enviable and its inhabitants were known to be extremely ostentatious. Among other eccentricities, for example, during the procession of Corpus Christi in 1658 the city center cobblestones were dug up and replaced with bars of silver all the way to the Recoleto Church. This display of luxury gave rise to legends about the American city whose streets were paved with silver and not cobblestones, and that so much silver was used to pave its streets that it was enough to build a solid silver bridge from Potosí to Madrid.

Consider this: the process for this thread idea has really been a lot like filling in a Whitman "bingo" folder. You have all kinds of hits at first, then it slows down, then you have to dig a little deeper, enlist the help of others (in this case more members; in the Whitman analogy it would be going to the coin shop), then it slows down and slows down... until finally you really cherish each and every hit.
