Description
This struck 1760 Florida proclamation piece was made for Juan Estevan de Pena to mark the accession of Charles III to the Spanish throne. When Charles III came to the Spanish throne, towns across the empire issued proclamation pieces, and the Florida piece of 1760 names Juan Estevan de Pena. Such pieces were usually cast, which was cheaper than cutting dies, and Stack's Bowers records about five Florida pieces, one of them struck. It is catalogued as Betts-454 and Herrera 56. Stack's Bowers reports a single confirmed struck silver example, 31.1 mm across and 13.56 grams.
