TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 7:43 pm inherited from a family estate, I am the "coin guy" so I got this one. But not enough of a coin guy to have any clue what it is! Any ideas? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 9:01 pm Hi again - thank you for the notes! Here's the coin on a scale and a measurement - weight of course is way high because of the 2 heads attached, but 14g including all. And diameter is just under 1 inch - maybe 15/16" .. though not exactly round :) Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 10:49 pm I've been searching Spanish cobs, here's the closest I have found - 1705 1 Real Coin - Spain http://www.coindatabase.com/coin_de...?cdb=H150005 Both sides line up reasonably well for details. For diameter, the above says 20mm, mine is maybe 23mm on average, but they don't exactly seem to be precise :) I feel pretty certain it is some variant of the above. Any more thoughts appreciated, cheers! Report this Post to the Staff

The central PLVS VLTRA lettering should be readable, and I can't make it out. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
