EarlyMilledCoins Valued Member United States 147 Posts	Posted 04/26/2012 9:10 pm 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 Report this Post to the Staff

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) Report this Post to the Staff

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) : http://www.segoviamint.org/english/technology.htm Report this Post to the Staff
