EARLY PUERTO RICO NUMISMATICS BOOK PUBLISHED

The following is from a recent press release: "The Puerto Rico
Numismatic Society just published a 150 page book titled
"Fortalezas y Situados" (in spanish). It is the first in-depth study
of the early period between 1582-1809 in which the island
depended upon currency remittances from New Spain (Mexico)
called the "situado". The book is full of tables, graphs and lots of
color photos of pieces of eight, cob coins, and early paper money
from Puerto Rico. All proceeds will be for the PRNS as a
non-profit entity. If interested please contact us.
