Just curious... where do you file coins like this? Under "C" for Caracas, "V" for Venezuela, or someplace else?

I've got one of these, and I've filed it under "C". Even though the counter-revolutionary royalists weren't really trying to create a new country called "Caracas", that is the name they chose to put on these coins, so that's where I've filed them.

Sap,
   As a matter of fact I file this one under "C" for Caracas. I have a separate entry for Venezuela...Don't ask me why, I just do.
