I belong to a group of Renaissance Faire reenactors and our merry band of misfits portray King Philip II of Spain's court. I’m
trying to figure out what a cheque from Philip’s treasury would look like. We want to have some fun and start buying countries and
merchants and shoppes at the faires we attend. But without fake financial instruments how can we fake pay for our purchases? Is there
anything you can suggest? Many thanks!

Reenactors are a very receptive audience for numismatic information, and I'm glad Craig contacted us. I know the Bank of England has
a great exhibit and collection that includes very early financial instruments, but he is asking about Spain. Can anyone help this slimy
backstabbing toad? Where are we learn about (and find images of) cheques and other financial documents of the era? Thanks. -Editor
