Description: | A fake or counterfeit 8 reales piece of Phillip II of Spain (1556-1598), Mint of Lima. The coin has a flan of irregular thickness and the ridged edges suggest it has been cast. The coin appears to be of lead or an alloy of lead. It is most likely that the coin is of a modern date, although this remains somewhat uncertain.See HESH-B277B3 for a similar counterfeit coin from North Wales.
