january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 4:14 pm Probably Spanish. Doesn't look very ancient to me, maybe 17th century. Not enough of an expert to say more. You posted this in totally the wrong forum, however - if there's anything this is not, it's US modern variety. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189222 Posts	Posted 01/18/2017 4:14 pm I am glad you figured out how to do the images. With that being said, I moved your post to the appropriate forum for the proper attention.

jbuck Moderator United States 189222 Posts	Posted 01/19/2017 08:55 am Are we satisfied that this is an ancient coin? If so, we can move it to the Ancient forum for better exposure.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5176 Posts	Posted 01/19/2017 10:08 am If the Philip II identification is true, then yes, it would be pre-1600 and thus appropriate for the Ancient subforum. Very similar coins of Philip III were made after 1600, though (in 1601 and 1602, apparently). That said, I think the monogram is just different enough to be sure that this is not one of the Philip III coins; but it's hard to say. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189222 Posts	Posted 01/19/2017 3:51 pm I went ahead and moved it. If further opinion determines it is the latter we can move to the World forum.
