Description: | Clipped copper alloy 8 maravedis of Felipe III (1598-1621) of Spain, dated to 1611 on reverse, but countermarked later in under Felipe IV's reign (1621-1665) as an 8 maravedis 'resellado' which means 'resealed' or 'restruck'. The coin has the mark 'R X' on the obverse for REX and the various '8' or 'VIII' stamps refer to the denomination of the coin. Just above the RX mark, but upside-down, is another countermark which reads 165[], which gives the countermarking date of either 1654 or 1655 as one of the documented dates in Felipe IV's reign (John Naylor pers comm).
