| Additional information |
Modern replica of the colonial-era Spanish American "doubloon" type, issued with no pretense of being otherwise — the gold-clad copper-nickel construction and 2002 date make authentication straightforward. These pieces circulate freely in the souvenir and novelty market and have no numismatic premium beyond melt on the cladding, which is negligible.
