Didn't some Spanish coins feature a clutch of arrows?

Yes. Sorry, but your coin is not gold. This is a rather crude brass replica of an early Spanish silver coin, the "reyes catolicos" reales of Ferdinand and Isabella. This particular type, with a garbled, barely readable legend has been spotted on the forum several times before. Here's an old thread with one.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Sap, again, thank you. You are, AGAIN, right. I can now see that it is a crude replica. I knew I recognized the coat of arms, but the arrows threw me off. Thanks again!
