Description: | Copper Spanish coin, probably dating from the early 1600's. The coin was countermarked in 164[1?] with a new value of 8 maravedis and then countermarked again in 1652, probably reducing the value again but this is not certain.
Thanks are extended to Dr David Symons (of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) for the positive identification of this unusual coin. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1600
