tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7364 Posts	Posted 09/28/2025 12:10 pm Any ideas on what could be the design in the first photo? For second photo, possibly a structure with three towers, and legend appears to have letters + VNIVER ... IS .... I wonder if some kind of counterstamp or overstrike could be involved?

Sap Moderator Australia 16470 Posts	Posted 09/28/2025 6:40 pm Thanks to tdziemia's partial reading, I was able to find it. It is a copper sou, or 6 deniers, from the Kingdom of Majorca under Spanish rule, during the reign of Charles II, struck 1684-1688 on the island of Ibiza. Obverse: king's portrait, large number "6" for 6 deniers next to it. The legend is supposed to read "CAROLVS · II · REX · N". You can clearly see the "6", upside-down in your picture. Reverse: Castle of Castile, legend " + VNIVER · EBVS · DNS". Numista example: https://en.numista.com/110784 Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
