Hi Scrapfren, the auction ended just minutes ago, and i won it. Tbf i paid way less than i expected. The item weights 200gr, and i paid 123 bux for it. At 0.60€/gr, i should be slightly below spot in fine silver.
The coins constituting the ashtray :
>1 Ecu Louis XVI "aux rameaux d'olivier"
29.48gr, .917 fineness, 1774-1792 (bottom coin)
https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5768.html
>6x 8 reales Carolus IIII
27.06gr, 0.903 fineness, 1791-1808, those were colonial coins, so probably varrying a bit in weight and purity depending on where they were minted, i took Mexico as example

But it could also be from Peru, Chili, Guatemala, Columbia, Bolivia,.. I'll have to investigate this!
Some are worth VERY big monies (but probably not when bent like eggs kek).

The coins alone weights 191gr, and there should be around 10gr of silver solder, so the weight matches the coins in the description from what i can tell.

The bottom one is a french Ecu, but indeed, the 6 others coins are spanish dollars! Paying basically spot for it, i think i got myself quite a deal.
The seller wasn't stingy on pics so don't hesitate to ask if you wanna look more at it in details.
