Teeny gold coin

So I'm visiting my partner's parents and they have a small collection of off coins. I thought I'd share this one because it's the smallest coin I've ever encountered. Apparently a Guatemalan 4 Reales piece, I suspect it's a 1/40 oz of gold:

Parent reports that they were walking through a field when they spotted it glinting in the grass.

Anyone have any further information on this piece? Or how it came to be lying in a field in Leeds?

Dropped through the hole in my pocket, I'll PM my address and you can post it back. :D

If you look at the picture in the link above it stated "Note: Gilt copper example pictured"

The date on the coins is also the same so may worth checking it is actually gold.

 

Dont shoot the messenger :(

 

Ooh, interesting, thanks.

That said, I'm pretty sure the owner isn't planning on parting with it anytime soon :)

Did they offer it to you :ph34r:

I've told the story before on here, but the other year talking about coins at my mums she went "ooo! your great aunt had a sovereign in her jewelery box" and she went and got out a Edward sovereign I think it was

I thought she was going to gift it to me... :mellow: nope, straight back in the jewelery box it went lol bitch :P

No they didn't, although I'd been crossing fingers that they might <_<
