Teeny gold coin

[PansPurse]

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.

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

The date on the coin 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 

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...  nope, straight back in the jewelery box it went lol bitch

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