Marlinar New Member Sweden 14 Posts	Posted 05/15/2021 09:04 am I bought these during a vacation to Greece back when I was 11 and most avid in my coin collecting. It was one of those stands in a marketplace that sold them cheap. I remember being suspicious, but not enough not to buy a few. I've had them in my coin box since then and recently started digging through it, and now I'm just curious, I want to know. They look rather sloppy, as if I made them myself with soft metal and a stamp (and didn't bother to aim). * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Three of them look like this 2 maravedis type. I believe the bottom left is dated 1699. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces38557.html Report this Post to the Staff

txabs Valued Member Spain 125 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 06:17 am The bottom-left is Carlos II, Linares mint, II maravedís from 1699, Cal-82 (https://www.aureo.com/pdf/numismati...ola_v3.pdf). The two on the right column are same type, but impossible to be located or dated, II maravedís from 168x-169x. But top left is an earlier type. It looks like a IIII maravedis from Felipe IV. Mint mark is next to the castle, on the left side, maybe Burgos mint but I cant see it well. What do you see? It would be circa 162X Regards Report this Post to the Staff
