Hook Replica Coin Bracelet Collection



The coins that were minted in the New World were usually irregular in shape and are referred to as "COBS" They were manufactured by slicing coin blanks from the end of the crudely cast bars of refined bullion. Then they were clipped to the requisite weight, heated, and hand hammered between crudely engraved dies. The rough surface and irregular circumferences of the blanks prevented well defined strikes. The spanish authorities were not interested in the shapes of the coins or having them show dates. The important feature was the assayer mark as it guaranteed the fineness of the bullion and the proper weight. The penelty for not showing the mark was severe.

Although Cobs were not intended to circulate in Europe they became a major currency all of the world including the North American colonies.
