Description: | A Post Medieval copper-alloy 8 Maravedis resellado 'cob' coin of Philip IV (AD1621-1640), dated 1623. The coin is a crude sub-rectangular shape. The obverse of the coin depicts a rampant lion facing left within a shield with a crown above. The date 1623 is to the left of the shield in a vertical position. The reverse of the coin depicts a castle within a shield, with VIII to the left of the shield in a vertical position. The coin has been counter-stamped on the obverse side over part of the castle, with VII. There is also a counter-stamp on the reverse side over the crown, which is hard to decipher. This was likely done in 1641 during the Spanish coin re-valuation. The coin has a dark-brown patina.Dimensions: length: 22.93mm; width: 20.81mm; 5.31g
