Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 09:29 am @JSL9900, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes the Castle and Lion motif pins this as medieval Spain. There isn't much of the legend remaining, but taking pics outside of the 2x2 might reduce the glare enough to give a better attribution. Also, a diameter and weight could be useful.

Edit: I see Spence and I were typing at the same time.

JSL9900 New Member Denmark 8 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 09:37 am Looks very much like the coin Bob L. has suggested ... The diameter measures 2.7 cm. A little over an inch. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 7:06 pm When you see a castle and a lion, or a shield with castles and lions, Castille & León (Spain) is the logical place to start. Edited by Kushanshah 05/26/2018 7:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
