I would like to know the reigning and if is a piece of 4: the weight is 10.3 grams, I thought it should be 13.5g circa Diameter 25 mm

While low weight can be explained away sometimes by clipping, corrosion, production variance, etc... long story short, that's an early 1600's contemporary counterfeit originating out of peninsular Spain (as opposed to the colonies).

Hi @realeswatcher
thanks for your reply :)

That's sound interesting... I didn't catch if is a counterfeit piece made around 1600 from the peninsular Spain against the colones or is a modern/fake reproduction?
if is the first one, could you please give tell me more about it? that's very fascinating!

Many thanks
