The pistareen was minted in Spain with a lower silver content than its counterparts minted in Spain's American colonies. Nevertheless, it was a common coin in colonial America, and circulated at a lesser value. 

This reproduction of a Spanish Pistareen coin is a struck coin made to closely approximate the look and feel of the original. The coin is packaged in an poly bag with an information card on the coin's history and its place in early American commerce. 

Our Spanish pistareen reproduction is a struck coin, carefully made to approximate the look, feel, and character of original examples. It offers a tangible connection to the economic life of early America, when a mix of foreign coins served as everyday currency. Each coin is packaged in a poly bag with a history card.

WARNING  CHOKING HAZARD  SMALL PARTS  Not for children under 3. Recommended for adults and children aged 8 years and above.
