FEATURED WEB SITE

This week's featured web site is on Columbian Cob
coinage and related subjects.

"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."

"This site is devoted to presenting a reference collection for
educational purposes. The focus is on Colombian cobs but
not exclusively, I do touch on other related subjects."
