Tremors. Silver. Juan Ignacio Montero, Salamanca, 18th Century.

Trembling. Silver. Juan Ignacio Montero, Salamanca, 18th century. With contrast marks. Colored silver coin, ready on the outside, decorated with two handles in the shape of an inverted "S" and decorated with spikes on the outside. On the base of the coin, four hallmarks (framing the hallmark line) place the production of the coin in Salamanca (note the bull), with the intervention of Juan Ignacio Montero; there are two other frustration marks. Juan Ignacio Montero was a silversmith and hallmarker, and the hallmark seen here appears to date from preserved works that have been dated between 1759 and 1779, such as a sacra from the parish church of San Lorenzo in Segovia (by Manuel Cardeñosa, dated 1767). It is known that he held the position of puncher in Salamanca between 1758 and 1781 and that he was active until 1779. He used a punch that incorporated the dates relative to the year, although sometimes the same iron was used for several years. Weight: 70 gr. - Size: 10x7x5 cm
