Review By Ernie Richards from Enrada Publications:  "If you have any connection with “cobs” —Spanish colonial coins of gold, silver or copper— then The Macuquina Code belongs in your numismatic library! Compiled by Agustín “Augi” García-Barneche and produced by Historic Real Treasures, this is a long-needed publication. In 96 7"x10" softbound pages, Augi has pulled together over 1500 words and terms specific to collecting, buying, and selling cob coins and placed them in alphabetical order for quick reference.  The first section of the book has entries in the Spanish language in the left-hand column, with their exact English counterparts listed opposite them in the right-hand column, providing a ready “translator” for words and expressions one encounters in books, articles, and auction catalogs and for which there was formerly “no clue” In the second half of his work, García-Barneche alphabetized the same words and terms in English and installed them in the left-hand column facing the Spanish translation on the right-hand side of the page.

 

A list of “references consulted” is also included in this section. Much like a Spanish-English/ English-Spanish dictionary, the book has been designed to be used for two-way conversion of terms finely-tuned to the specific subjects of Spanish colonial coins, Spanish shipwrecks, Spanish-American history, and words which formerly just elicited a shrug from the reader —as it is part of the archaic or local jargon in the treasure- producing areas of the New World."

 

About this book: Spanish is not a difficult language to learn, but we know from experience that many of you who like to collect cobs and coins from Spain and its New World colonies simply do not have the time to sit down and learn another language. Yet without SOME basic knowledge of Spanish many of the best books, articles, online sources and catalogues on these coins will remain inaccessible. This  ‘translator’ will put the user light years ahead of other beginning or veteran students of Spanish Colonial coins, giving him or her access to the treasuries of information to be extracted from previously inaccessible sources. Internet web sites, documents, manuscripts, books, catalogs and more, produced in the language native to this study may now be searched for valuable details concerning our common interest: cobs...macuquinas!

The book includes  terms that are not only narrowly numismatic in meaning, but also pertaining to the related subjects of mining, heraldic, geography, colonial administration, trade, business and history. We’ve also included terminology that will give you a kind of “survival guide” to doing business in Spanish. You will learn the key terms needed for buying and selling at auction. We hope this helps, the clues are here…

Note in Spanish for collectors of South, Central America and Spain: El Codigo Macuquina: (Traductor Numismático para el coleccionista de la Moneda Española colonial y el entusiasta deTesoros recobrados de Naufragios.) consta de más de 1500 palabras de uso común en el campo de la moneda colonial, con referencias tanto numismáticas como históricas e inclusive de uso diario en negociaciones y estudio en general. También incluimos términos relacionados con la búsqueda de naufragios y el estudio de sus tesoros. “El Código Macuquina” será de gran ayuda para investigar y negociar a nivel internacional. Esperamos que este libro les sea de ayuda, las claves están aquí.

More reviews from experts:

- "For every serious researcher threading his way through Spanish legajos, the new book 'The Macuquina Code' is a breath of fresh air. It shortens the time of research by days and weeks." - Bob "Frogfoot" Weller

- "No doubt about it, this is a book every collector of Spanish & Spanish Colonial coins should own and keep within arm's reach. 'Indispensable' is not too strong a word: without it, the best books and articles and catalogues on Spanish numismatics remain indecipherable to most of us. We all owe Augi a sincere 'Gracias'." - Philip Flemming, Ph.D.
- "El Código Macuquina va a ser una ayuda útil, especialmente para coleccionistas, ya que es fácil de usar, no es excesivamente profuso y concentra nociones usuales y habituales que pueden leerse en catálogos de subasta y libros algo más especializados.” - Juan Cayon, Subastas Cayon
- "This book will be very useful for novices as well as advanced collectors to translate the reference material as well as auctions that are written in Spanish into English." - Danny Lee, DHL Rare Coins Inc.
- "Any one who collects colonial or shipwreck coins should purchase this book. A very valuable resource that is enlightening and educational." - Dan Scocozza, collector
- "This great little book is a valuable tool for anyone who studies cobs and has run across Spanish (and other) terms that can't be translated without specific numismatic experience. This book picks up where Beals' Numismatic Terms of Spain and Spanish America left off in 1966." - Daniel Frank Sedwick, Professional Numismatist
- "The book has already been useful several times, and I just received it 2 days ago! In this great hobby of ours, shipwreck treasures, we all learn as we go. No one knows it all. That's what is so fantastic about it! Now, with what you have done, it makes it even more interesting and anyone with an interest in the hobby whether they are beginners or professionals have something they can glean from this publication. I will VERY proudly represent the booklet to the best of my abilities to all of my clients and people that I am in contact with. Again, you have done a fantastic job, and a fantastic addition to the Numismatic/Shipwreck Treasure community!" - Frank Noga, Shipwreck Treasure Catalog Company
- "It looks great. Should be very useful, After looking through it, it should also be helpful to collectors of ancient coins, if they are dealing with one of the Spanish firms, a Spanish language catalogue or web site. Congratulations on a fine reference work." -  Kerry K. Wetterstrom, Editor/Publisher ­ The Celator
- "Outstanding in all respects!! You have now made your mark in terms of the study of Spanish-American numismatics. Keep up the good work." - Sewall Menzel
- "The Macuquina Code" is a much-needed reference book for every Spanish colonial coin collector. The author has taken the mystery out of Spanish numismatic terminology by producing a book that translates BOTH from Spanish to English...and English to Spanish. The book translates over 1500 words and terms used by numismatists and is invaluable in understanding Spanish texts and references. I think "The Macuquina Code" is essential for every Spanish colonial coin collector and treasure enthusiast." - Dave Crooks President, Sunken Treasure Literature Club, FUN
