MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 10/23/2012 06:37 am There are two counterstamps on your coin : * VI maravedis 1636 (bottom on the first picture, top on the secone one) * IIII maravedis 1654 (top and bottom upside down) I can't figure out on what original coin this was struck to, but technically the last counterstamp is the one which gives the value to your coin : it's a IIII maravedis. (III maravedis don't exist for this period / place / type) Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 10/23/2012 10:08 am Thank you Mathieu.It seems that SCWC, which has been of little help so far with this, doesn't list a 4 maravedis for 1654. Any idea of the mint? Report this Post to the Staff
MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 10/23/2012 11:00 am Actually it's not an officially minted coin - it's two official counterstamps due to devaluation of the coins back then. I cannot see the mint on those - it should be over / under the stamp (they are not often complete). Here are some examples : http://www.maravedis.org/felipe4.html Report this Post to the Staff
