Holiday time

[Geordie582 18]

I'm off to Spain for a couple of weeks soon (Alcudia) and was wondering if there are any coins I should be looking out for? I don't collect European as a rule, but any oddity, rarety, or just 'talking point' is always added to my Sundry coins!

Just boring Euro's for currency.

However the Spanish do seem to like coin fairs etc. and they have plenty of attractive historical coins (incl hammered)

I don't know about Majorca but I found some nice coins in Alicante.

Its always worth a snoop in likely areas.

I did look at one dealers Uk folders and they were full of £ coins (not even 1988's)

I swiftly moved on and ended up buying some 19th Century 2 pesata's

Spanish Find

This was the result of another visit to Spain, by accident. I came across a small market in "pueblo blanca" somewhere near Mireara. I know it's for use by Portugese Azores, but a good result, none the less!

Cracking result and a chance to learn a bit of history.

Have a good break.

Ta! I will!
