erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 1:58 pm Perhaps something like this 8 maravedi: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces112795.html It looks like a double strike, especially on the shield side where I can clearly see two shields. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 2:27 pm Thanks. The coin is a bit of a mess, but comparing the image in that link I can see that it is definitely an 8 maravedi of one of the Phillips. In this condition it might be worth $1 if I can fully attribute it Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7955 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 4:17 pm I think you have PHILIPPVS starting around 9:00 obverse the way you have the photo oriented, and reverse you have the date 1661 just left of the crown. So, definitely on the right track. Edited by tdziemia 12/27/2023 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 7:04 pm Yes, and looking at the obverse I can make out the outline of a portrait. It might very will be the one you suggested and also double struck. Report this Post to the Staff
