Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 08/03/2016 5:28 pm Looks like a "dateless" Philip II, Potosi Mint (Modern day Bolivia), one Real, with Assayer initial "A" and two lis in the shield. These features would place its date of manufacture between 1586 and 1591. It was valued at four thousand Spanish pesetas in my reference book (about $28.50 in U.S. Dollars) but that is for a coin without environmental issues. The shield side is front and cross on the back. The image of the shield is upside down. Enough detail is there to pin it down quite well. If it came with a particular shipwreck's provenance then that adds to its value.
