Description: Reference collection of rare Colombian silver cobs, from the Spanish colonial mints of Santa Fe de Bogota and Cartagena. [English, Spanish]
Cobs, called macuquinas in Spanish, are a crude style of hand hammered coins, struck in Spain and Spanish America. This site is for those cobs that were made in the Spanish territory of what is now Colombia. These coins are typically crudely made irregular shaped pieces, it is this style that makes them intriguing, along with the fact that they are lore from the Spanish conquest of America. As I hold these coins and study them, my mind envisions the explorations and discoveries of the conquistadors and of pirates searching the seas for ships carrying these "pieces of eight" back to Spain. For a fuller, more eloquent description please see a copy of the general cob book,
