	CHILE'S COQUIMBO MINT BOOK PUBLISHED
		Here's a little review of this great work: Although the 1 Peso Coquimbo coin is so famous that it has many times been labeled the most important republican Latin American crown, no one has undertaken a serious study of it since Jose Toribio Medina in the early 1900's.
		Jara uncovered much new documentation that was heretofore unknown and is crucial to understanding the precise chronology of the events that took place during the short time the Coquimbo Mint existed: 1827-1830.
		Previously undocumented and unknown contemporary descriptions and analysis of the various emissions of coins is presented, and by contrasting these with the actual coins known, it is possible to establish that the previously enigmatic and often called "dubious" specimens are in fact genuine.
