World Silver Coins   This page is for all the post-cob and non-cob silver (and copper) coins in our inventory. It is dominated by the machine-made ("milled") Pieces of Eight known as "pillar dollars" and "portrait" (or "bust") dollars that followed cobs at the various Spanish colonial mints, in addition to their smaller-denomination counterparts ("minors"), but you can also find various world coins at the end of the page.   Spanish Colonial-Period Pillars & Busts   Milled "Pillar" 8 Reales   Milled "Bust" 8 Reales Milled "Pillar" minors: 4 Reales Milled "Bust" minors: 4 Reales Milled Pillar minors: 2 Reales Milled "Bust" minors: 2 Reales Milled "Pillar" minors:1 Reales Milled "Bust" minors: 1 Reales Milled "Pillar" minors: ½  Reales Milled "Bust" minors: ½ Reales Milled Colonial Cuartillos   World Coins by date   1300-1400's Period: World Coins 1500's Period: World Coins 1600's Period: World Coins 1700's Period: World Coins 1800's Period: World Coins 1900's Period: World Coins
