✅ SOLVED Mystery coin?

[trapperart]

Found this in a corn field where I have found many colonial coins and relics. It is not lead. Would appreciate some help with the ID thanks.

Can't say at the moment, but it's damn early! Great find.

Closest I can get at this point - thought first it might be a bale seal or token but note the crowned columns - so I believe it is Spanish - 4-maravedis. Carlos & Juana 1544-1564 Santo Domingo Seville Mint.

So, how did a 16th C Spanish coin end up in a cornfield on the Eastern Shore of Maryland? Brought by a slave from Dominica perhaps? Cool find!
