turtlefoot Valued Member United States 182 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 6:27 pm Love this little coin. If I am right in my research, it is a copper Maravedis "cob" from Philip II (1556-1598). Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34435 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 7:47 pm That is a great little coin! I agree with your description and would add the attribution of C&C 3121, based on the two privy marks: the letter C on the right and the patriarchal cross on the left. If correct, that would mean that your coin was minted between 1566 and 1598 AD.

Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 10/12/2016 12:55 pm Hi. Nice coin, it is named "Blanca" and it was equivalent to 1/2 maravedí and minted in Cuenca (mintmark chalice). V. Report this Post to the Staff
