I'm working on a project to make a list of siege coins from Latin America (or Central and South Americas, both are good for me).
So far I found coins from
Montevideo, Uruguay;
Santiago de Cuba, Cuba;
Copiapo, Valdivia, Tarapacá and Chiloé, Chile;
San Salvador, El Salvador;
Guatemala, Guatemala.
Please keep in mind that what I'm looking for are coins minted by cities under siege, not notgeld coins.
Help will be appreciated.

Do a little studying about this type, and decide whether it belongs on your list. They may or may not have been "beseiged", but they were definitely on the run!

Very interesting coin.
I did a little research, coin is dated 1822; seems Pasto was attacked at very end of 1822, and was on a short siege during 1823, the following year. Out of the question whether the coin was really minted at Pasto, if this is correct, means was minted before the siege time. So far, this coin does not belong to my list.
Thank you for your contribution; it was close enough to be taken into account.
