This is a very broad topic!  Here are a couple:

Spain, 2 Reales, Seville, 1737 (25 mm)  It should be 27 mm, and I believe the edge was clipped long ago.1759360243_Spain2RealesSeville173725mm.jpeg.bed04e98adf6a301fc6a30dd7347872b.jpeg

Spain, Joseph Napoleon, 4 Reales, 18122132403822_SpainJosephNapoleon4Reales1812.jpeg.ec63a3775eda80b731dc4d02a08d9c3a.jpeg

Spain, 1868, 2½ centimos, Isabel II1654459619_Spain1868centimos.jpg.758c0e02d3c4733f01ef6994d7e774e3.jpg

edit:  I had "2.5 centimos" in the file name, and the image uploader doesn't seem to like dots in filenames.  Fixed?

A colonial 8-reales "cob" is certainly on my wishlist!

Till then, here is my only piece:

I have a soft spot for "problem" coins.  Holed, chop marks, ex-jewelry etc.  But there's a lot of interesting stuff out there.
