Found a coin on an old site but what is it?

[smokeythecat]

Found this a few days ago on an old site. It appears old, hammered and Spanish. Can anyone ID it?

Well shiver me timbers! I guess I'm still in a food coma and uploaded the wrong pictures. Other coin was from...somewhere. I need to mark them better. And it's sad because I don't have many coins. Here's the correct one.



Somebody get me some caffeine!

I cannot provide any help with the I.D. Just wanted to be the first to express envy. Great save!

Thanks. The last one I got was toast, this one is much better.

Cob.. Nice!

I THINK its in copper - so a Maravedis. Still junky though. I guess that's the date, but don't know the rest of the markings.

That's so cool. Fricken old too. I'm with Banner No. 9

Thanks Mackaydon! I have found a 15th century coin here in silver, it's Germanic from what we can tell but it's shot, so I suppose this fits. It was a very, very early site here on the East Coast. I THINK it's in copper!

I think I bought a bunch of these in crappy condition (or something similar) on ebay. I'm not sure if it is Smokey's coin though.

They are all over Ebay. And flea markets. And antique stores. Probably coming to a Coin Star near us too. Speaking of coin stars, I almost threw my one and only seated half in one with a box of halves I was dumping. I caught it in the nick of time! (That was one I had purchased.) I also traded for a few of the Maravedis from a friend a couple months back, although they are so common I'm not sure why I did that. I've only dug a few in my life, all near navigable waterways. I don't know where the quadzillion being sold these days are coming from. My first was found along an old Indian trail used also by the Conquistadors in the late 16th century. That was before "Maryland" was "Maryland". It's kind of like Spanish cobs. 20 years ago they were very, very pricey IF you could find one. Now with all the shipwrecks, they are for sale everywhere. I've only found a few of those ever myself! Note to self: find more!

I can clearly see a 63 on the second picture.
I would guess 1663
