1712 8 LIMA ESCUDOS COB????

[Carlajogden]

It is gold in color. I looked it up online and the only thing I found close to it is a 1712 8 escudos cob except there are a couple small differences. the ones online have a cross on the front that have two castles and two lions in each corner of the cross, mine have what appears to be the letters DP in two corners and a picture (i cant tell what they are) in the other two corners. Also on the back of the coin the ones online have the letter V under the 8 and mine has the letter P.

@Carlajogden, amazing find! Looks legit. Unfortunately you can see wear which exposed the iron underneath. it's a replica sadly

It is replica coin...
IMO... the same one that is given out with detectors from KellyCo.

I found out what it is. It's a game piece from the dread pirate game, I've never played this game so I don't know how the piece got into my box but atleast I know I can throw it away now lol.
