I think everything about this coin is just so cool. This is a bit out of the realm of what I collect, which is Great Britain coins, so I really don't know much about it.

1663 Phillip IV 8 Maravedis Madrid Mint

It's a nice coin you have here, almost complete and well detailed.
I like the design of those, depending on where it was done there are many variation on this type (different portrait, different size of the portrait, different legend and so on)

This coin is better struck, more complete flan and in better condition than most for it's genre. Well worth having.

Actually, is this hammered or milled? I'm not familiar with the history of Spanish coinage.

This one was milled, between two cylindric patterns.
Check out this page from the Segovia mint, it has many interesting informations on the techniques used (images can be zoomed - but it's in spanish) :
