Since May is the month of flowers we thought we would use this bouquet of Fleet gold and silver as our Treasure of the Month. Our little grouping is sprinkled with green emeralds, which contrast nicely with the butter-colored gold coins from the Lima mint. The silver portion of our bouquet comprises coins of various denominations from the Lima and Mexico mints. Each silver coin has its own characteristic color, which makes this grouping truly a pleasant introduction to the month of May. The coins and emeralds shown above are from the collection or Richard Jewell, a prominent collector of Fleet related material.
