Hello
The original coin could be Philip III or IV, then it had been overstrike on 1641 with the value of VIII (8) Maravedis in the mint mark of Toledo (T under de value).

I'm glad I'm not the only to see the goose in the coin's image! And I thought the image above it was a giraffe's head too..... Really cool find again JD, and nice help from everyone on the ID, especially MalteseFalcon.

I found something similar. But I thought it was just junk. It is still in the bottom of my bag. So soaking it in olive oil works?
