    Standing Libertad type coin

    Found in a farm field says Libertad which is Spanish for Liberty has an uncanny resemblance to a SLQ can't seem to find out where it is from. It is copper and 28mm in size. Other side is virtually slick.

    The only thing I can find about it is a couple of instances on other forums where people have found them, but nobody seems to know what they are.

    Looks like an SLQ from behind.

    From the first example Tony posted... your coin represents exactly
    what might be expected from viewing the obverse of an SLQ from behind. If you know what I mean.
