Billon I'd judge, with a diameter of about 26 mm and a current weight of 4.1 grams. My apologies in advance if it dates post-1600. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 8:34 pm Yes I think a pretty good match to a Maille from the Spanish Netherlands under Phillip II (AD 1590-1592). Here is a numista link for comparison: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces111418.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks, Spence. The greater size & weight of my specimen, plus it's not appearing (to me at least) to be composed of copper alone, suggests a larger denomination, perhaps 2 Maille (8 Mites)?

Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 11/13/2019 8:20 pm Ah yes good point @LC. I was trying to match the design elements, but didn't consider the weight and diameter.
