I initially looked down the gun money route but large and late date steers me well away. Really interested in thoughts and opinions. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Jamgskn New Member United Kingdom 23 Posts	Posted 02/08/2024 4:34 pm I have had a few Spanish colonial coins, Mexico, Peru etc that have identification stamps but this came in and amongst a large British collection which threw my brain. As ever, I am always appreciative of anybody that takes the time and effort to reply. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 02/08/2024 7:56 pm Pics are plenty clear. As noted above, Spain, revalued copper maravedis cob coinage. This is an older (likely 1500s) piece that I think has 3 separate 1600s revaluation counterstamps - should be 1636 revalued to 12 maravedis, 1641 to 8 maravedis, and 1654 again to 8 maravedis. Fairly typical example... These are rather plentiful in number and their value reflects that. Subject to correction on the specific revaluation attributions - I don't deal with these really at all.
