What is the value of a 1717 silver ispania rum rex phillppus?

Answer 1

You have either a 1 or 2 Real coin from Spain. The front side reads "PHILIPPVS V D G", which is abbreviated Latin for "Philip the Fifth, By the Grace of God", and the back reads "HISPANIARUM REX 1717" or "HISPANIARVM REX 1717", which in either case is Latin for "Spain, King 1717". The 1 Real would be about the size of a US nickel, and the 2 Real about the size of a US quarter. The value would depend on the denomination and variant, the condition, the mint mark, and whether the coin was struck by machine or by hand. Assuming that you don't have a coin in Uncirculated condition (which would be worth more), a 1 Real coin could be worth as little as US$5.00 and as much as US$500.00, while a 2 Real is probably worth in the range of US$8.00 to US$55.00. You should, in any case, seek out a coin dealer who can better identify and value the coin for you.
