[Ancient Gold Appraisal] Buying and selling 18th-century Spanish portrait double-column silver coins.

The Spanish silver coin with the portrait of the two pillars, also known as the "Pillar Silver Coin" or "Belgian Silver Dollar," is one of the most famous silver coins minted in Spain during the 18th and 19th centuries. Its obverse typically features a profile portrait of the Spanish king, embodying the monarch's majesty and power. The reverse features the iconic symbol of the Spanish Empire, the "Two Pillars of the Sea," symbolizing the pillars of Hercules, adorned with ribbons and inscribed with the Spanish royal motto "Plus Ultra," meaning "the farthest reaches," symbolizing Spain's ambition for global expansion.

The space between the two pillars often features a crown, shield, or globe, representing Spain's influence in Europe and the Americas. These silver coins are of high purity and were typically used in international trade, considered one of the most widely used currencies in the 18th century. With their exquisite design and rich historical background, they are highly sought after in the antique coin collecting market today, especially well-preserved versions, which command considerable value.
