Cuba (Mayari), silver 1/2-real(?) token with MORALES in incuse box above 1-over-2 denomination on obverse and Bourbon arms on reverse, made from a US Seated Liberty half dime (1800s), very rare. KM-unl. 1.08 grams. Fine with mottled toning and spot of orange encrustation, old scratches on obverse, small square hole near edge at top.
