Well I'm glad that @tdz saved one of these for the rest of us.

This looks like a mid-16th Century Cob from Spain issued under Phillip II (your second pic is upside down). I don't see an example on numista, but here is a link to a similar coin listed on ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1556-1598-...AOSwSk5ceFPt

The attribution should be somewhere near C&C 3291.

Thanks very much. What is C&C ?

I found https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces101008.html in Numista - a blanca weighing 1g but elsewhere it suggests a blanca is 2 cornados.

That's puzzling as my coin weighs 1.27g.
