Unknown coins possibly Spanish colonial?

9 posts
Hi!
I got two coins while traveling peru.
Both look pretty bad shape and well worn, but I’d love to know what they are!

just beginning to collect and have been buying things I like the look of basically, no real method! ?

paid a combined 10 dollars (us) for these two I Peru.
Any advice or info on them would be great!
thanks in advance!

2nd one is a Petosi mint colonial cob coin. I cant really make out too much with the Photos but the weight and Diameter would give an indication what it is. 2 reales, 4 reales, etc. Estimated date 1650 - 1750.
Amazing!
thanks so much for the information!

i will measure and weigh the coin when I get back from traveling!

further questions!
are these coins I should keep picking up while here? I see lots. All around the 10 dollar mark
Personally I would just because of the history. Just be sure they are silver, this way even if they are not authentic you have the silver value.

​hi! I weight this coin and it comes out at 3.34g
does that help you identify further?
Seems to be Bolivia 1 real... apparently this one https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces61946.html
(The picture on the numista page is horrible). On your coin you can see the PHI(lip) on the right side.
