The coin is dated 1835, not a proc coin as far as I know.
At a huge stretch it may be colonial , but I doubt it :ok:

I think SirDave was referring to a 1835 1 pie coin I put in this thread by mistake earlier :ok:

Sorry, Trout, I did think you were referring to my mums shilling. I must have missed the 1835 one. I thought maybe my english gas meter provenance might have excluded it!

here is my 2nd - just have to crossover for my registry set

jose 1 6400reis / peca/ 4 escudo / half johanna - 1775L

obverse is fully lustrous and some small areas on reverse a tad duller,result of rusty dies
the coin shows adjustment marks, minting staff adhered to weight tolerances hence the light file marks, a regular trait.

What a corker :yahoo:
