Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 8:53 pm A minuscule coin, just a bit over 11 mm in diameter. If authentic, it's obviously from the reign of Philip III, and dated 1605. My first thought was that it was a dinero, but that date doesn't match up with the catalog listing.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 9:19 pm Looks like an excellent example. I really like it. I'm not near my books, but if the date isn't listed, I would guess this a discovery date, rather than an imitation or counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/08/2017 11:40 pm Could the date be 1603? NGC lists a dinero of that date, and the last digit looks very similar to the one found on this example. Report this Post to the Staff

Looking more closely at my specimen and referencing that link you provided, I think you're probably correct. I took that last digit to be a 5, but certainly the simplest explanation would be that it's a rather stylized 3, and in that case any mystery about the coin goes away.

Veton Valued Member Spain 108 Posts	Posted 08/09/2017 2:16 pm Hi. Initially they are 2 maravedis fron Segovia mint; I think that last digit is 5. You check on this pic how (they) spelling 3 and 5. There are 2 maravedís coins from Segovia dated in 1603 and 1605 but diameter might be 16 mm not 11 ? Report this Post to the Staff
