It specifically mentions 16th century coins, and "archaeological context." Your coin appears to be even earlier (15th c), but lacks the archaelogical context. Understood; I was a bit unclear. To clarify, I have another five or six maravedis that were found around St. Augustine. I have only this single cornado from that site. I will post some photos of the others soon.

For the obverse, fewer letters are visible on your coin, which makes it tough. I have looked until I am crosseyed... I do think both obverse and reverse legends read: IOHANES DEI GRACI Thank you again for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
txabs Valued Member Spain 125 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 06:07 am That's a Cornado for sure. 2 cornados = 1 maravedí, they were minted with copper with an small amount of silver (vellon in spanish). If you want to learn about this coins, I will recommend you the "Enciclopedia de la moneda medieval románica en los reinos de León y Castilla", by Manuel Mozo Monroy. Is one of the most reputated experts on medieval coinage in Spain. But he is still working on next volumes :) Regards Edited by txabs 12/30/2018 06:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
