Comment: Engraver´s initials (IAK) at below arm truncation!

Due to an extreme interbreeding among his progenitors, the hereditary Habsburg jaw was most prominent in Leopold. Because his jaw was depicted unusually large on a 1670 silver coin, Leopold was nicknamed "the Hogmouth". However, most collectors do not believe the coin was an accurate depiction.

The first coinage of the New World and what comes to mind when we think of Pirate Treasure are pieces of eight. These first coins, often called cob coins, were made from roughly cut planchets (blanks) by striking them with hand dies. The word Cobb comes from a simplification of the Spanish phrase, Cabo de Barra, which translates as, from a bar. After the coins are struck, they are weighed by an assayer who cuts off any excess Silver which is why most coins have some of the impression cut away. Due to this method of manufacturer no two coins are alike and many are collected for their unique shapes alone. The Cobb coin, like anything that is no longer available is becoming very scarce and hence more valuable. The few remaining Coins are the last vintage of the glory days of pirates and Treasure hunting and are fast disappearing into private hands.

United States coins Capped Bust Half Dollar 1832

United States coins - Capped Bust Half Dollar (1807-1839)

The Capped Bust half dollar, originally minted in 1807, was a replacement for the Draped Bust half design which had been minted since 1796. John Reich was the designer of the Capped Bust half dollar. Half dollars minted from 1794 to 1835 (which include the Capped Bust design) were minted in .8924 fine silver and .1076 copper, the 90% silver coins became standard in 1836.
The wonderful design of John Reich pictures the bust of Miss Liberty wearing a cap inscribed with the word liberty. Thirteen stars circle her with the date below her on the obverse. The reverse shows an eagle spreading its wings, its left talon hold an olive branch a symbol of peace; in his right claw are arrows, a sign of war a shield covers his chest. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircle the reverse of the coin and on a scroll below those words read E PLURIBUS UNUM. Most U.S. coins have the denomination on the coin once, but the Capped Bust half has the denomination three times. The value is seen twice on the edge and once on the reverse below the eagle which reads 50 C. On most US coins the edge, also known as the third side, is often over looked. This is not so with the Capped Bust half. On the issues from 1807 to 1814 the edge says FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR and from 1814 to 1831 a star is added between the words DOLLAR and FIFTY. From 1832 to 1836 vertical lines were added between the words. The lettered edge was discontinued in mid 1836 and did not return on American coins until 1907 on the high relief double eagle.
The design was modified slightly by Christian Gobrecht in 1836. One of the changes was the diameter. Since 1794 the diameter had been approximately 32.5 millimeters and the change shrunk it down to 30.0 millimeters. When Gobrecht revised the design in 1836 one of the adjustments he made was on the reverse. The denomination then read 50 CENTS. One other change was the elimination of the words E PLURIBUS UNUM. More changes were made in 1838. One such adjustment changed the words 50 CENTS to HALF DOL. This continued until the series end in 1839 when the Seated Liberty design was commenced. New changes in 1838 also included half dollars being struck at a branch mint in New Orleans.

United States coins Seated Liberty Dime 1857-P

USA coins Seated Liberty Dime

United States coins - one dime

United States coins - Seated Liberty Dime - 10 cents coin.

Obverse: The basic obverse design of the Seated Liberty coinage consisted of the figure of the goddess Liberty clad in a flowing dress and seated upon a rock. In her left hand, she holds a Liberty pole surmounted by a Phrygian cap, which had been a pre-eminent symbol of freedom during the movement of Neoclassicism (and in fact traces its roots back to Ancient Greece and Rome). Although it had fallen out of favor in Europe by 1830, Neoclassicism remained in vogue in the United States until after the American Civil War. Liberty's right hand rested on the top corner of a striped shield with a diagonal banner inscribed with the word "LIBERTY." The shield represented preparedness in the defense of freedom. The date of the coin appeared on the bottom below Liberty.


Reverse: On these coins, the reverse consistently featured a wreath around the words "ONE DIME". Before 1860, this wreath consisted of laurel leaves, a traditional Neoclassical image, but beginning that year, the wreath was enlarged and was filled not only with leaves, but also traditional American agricultural products, such as corn and wheat. On quarter, half dollars, and silver dollar coins, the reverse featured a central eagle about to take flight, with a striped shield upon its breast. The eagle clutched an olive branch of peace in its right talons and a group of arrows in its left talons. Above the eagle around the rim were the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and below the eagle around the rim lay the coin denomination. Beginning in 1866 the coins featured a ribbon with the motto "In God We Trust" above the eagle.

US coins - Indian Head One Cent Coin

The Indian Head one cent coin, also known as an Indian Penny, was produced by the United States Mint from 1859 to 1909 at the Philadelphia Mint and in 1908 and 1909 at the San Francisco Mint. It was designed by James Barton Longacre, the engraver at the Philadelphia Mint 1844–1869.


The obverse of the coin shows "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," the head of Liberty wearing a feather head dress of a Native American and the year of production. The word "LIBERTY" appears on the band of the head dress. From 1859 to 1864 the design did not feature any mark of the designer. When the change to bronze occurred in 1864, Chief Engraver Longacre modified the portrait by sharpening the details. He added his initial "L" on the ribbon behind Liberty's neck as well. This design would continue until the end of the series, with a minor modification by Charles E. Barber in 1886 when the portrait was changed slightly.

Two reverse designs were used for the series. In 1859 the reverse featured "ONE CENT" within a wreath of laurel (or properly olive). From 1860 until the end of the series the reverse featured "ONE CENT" within a wreath of oak and olive tied at the base with a ribbon with a Federal shield above. This design continued until the end on the series in 1909 with a minor modification by William Barber in 1870.

The coins struck between 1859 and 1864 contained 88% copper and 12% nickel. During this time, prior to the issuance of the Five-Cent nickel coin, the cent was commonly referred to as a "Nickel" or "Nick," for short. Due to the hoarding of all coinage during the Civil War, the nickel cents disappeared from daily use and were replaced in many Northern cities by private tokens. The success of these copper tokens prompted the change of the cent to a similar metal. In 1864, the alloy changed to bronze (95% copper and 5% tin and zinc), and the weight of the coins was reduced from 72 grains to 48 grains. This weight continued for copper-alloy U.S. cents until the 1982 introduction of the current copper-plated zinc cent (about 38.6 grains).

The total production of the Indian Head cent was 1,849,648,000 pieces. The 1909-S had the lowest mintage, only 309,000. It is not considered as scarce as the 1877 issue (852,500), since fewer of those were kept, particularly in the higher grades.

Creation of the Peruvian Pound (Libra Peruana) 1897-1930
The depreciation of silver from 1870 accelerated as the world's largest economies, especially Great Britain, adopted the gold standard and abandoned silver as store of value. Other countries started to liquidate their silver reserves, contributing further to its depreciation. Peru and other silver producers like Mexico and the U.S. resisted adoption of the new standard for some years, but eventually abandoned bimetallism.
  In December 1897 a new currency was created in Peru, the Peruvian pound (Libra Peruana), after the prestigious British pound. In view that bills were still regarded in low esteem, it was agreed that the Peruvian pound would circulate only in gold coins. It was established that the Peruvian pound would be a 22 millimeter, 7.988 gram, fine gold disk showing a representation of Inca Emperor Manco Cápac.

The Peruvian Pound Between 1897 and 1930
The value of the Peruvian pound was fixed at 10 soles (which is why such amount was commonly known as Libra for many years after the Peruvian pound ceased to circulate). Silver soles (worth 100 cents) continued to be issued. From 1922 Peruvian pound bills made their appearance in denominations of ½, 1, 5, and 10 pounds.
  Together with the creation of the Peruvian pound (Libra Peruana) in 1897, it was established that the National Mint would cease to produce gold and silver coins commissioned by the private sector. From then on the government would decide the amount and timing of coin issuances, and would provide the necessary gold and silver for this purpose. By reserving to the government an instrument previously in the hands of miners and merchants, this measure marked the beginning of modern monetary policy in Peru. Before this innovation, money shortages had been common and attempts had been made to resolve them by issuing bank and fiscal bills, with adverse results. The 1929 world crisis sparked a surge in the price of gold, seen internationally as the best refuge asset. This disrupted the monetary order and led to a massive abandonment of the gold standard. In Peru, the last Libra Peruana issuances were made in 1930.

In order to help finance his grandiose construction plans railroads Henry Meiggs put it into circulation these banknotes by the amount of 1,030,000 Soles. The Company stated that the notes would be accepted in payment of freight and passenger railways in all by Meiggs and all payments to the Company for various services. These notes were issued without any action whatsoever to the government. The public welcomes in Lima and the provinces, but rejects the high trade. On August 17, 1877 the government authorized the issuance of Company 5,333,333 Soles assume the responsibility for which banknotes were issued
