Description: | Silver eight reales of Philip II (1556-1598) of Spain, probably Mexico mint but too worn to be sure. Cut from a rectangular silver strip, so that it is now sub-square in plan, and punched with a worn die, so that the legends are missing.
Cayon (2005) illustrates an similar example minted in Mexico on page 534, No.3914, which also has an 'M' above an 'F' to the left of the royal shield. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
