augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1063 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 6:10 pm Looks Spanish to me. I can't find the coin exactly, one similar made of silver was from the Reyes Catolicos, but I don't know what this is exactly. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 6:11 pm Appears to be a reproduction of a one reale of Ferdinand and Isabella (the Reyes Catholicos), identical to this one: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=57393 Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/02/2014 6:14 pm The arms on the observe are Spanish. If I read it right, the obverse legend starts FERNANDVS, and on the obverse I recognise ...GIO:A:S:G+REX:ET:REG... Based on that I would link it to Ferdinand and Isabella, ie late 15th century. From the look of the item it might actually be a jeton produced later. What is the size and the weight? Report this Post to the Staff
JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 11/03/2014 1:32 pm Thanks guys! I had found a close match like the one Philadelphian linked me to, but this coin is not silver. Or at least not high percent silver. Possibly Billon? The coin weighs a little over 7 grams and is about the same size as a U.S. quarter (24 mm, 5.68 g), but much thinner. Once again thanks for all the help! Report this Post to the Staff

The listing states the material is copper: http://ciudaddepuebla.olx.com.mx/mo...id-576331045 Edited by philadelphian 11/04/2014 12:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
