I really appreciate your knowledge Carolus2 (and the others who comment).
Here's another cob from the same site where the 1/2 reale was dug.
I partly cleaned it so the silver would show but the corrosion is also still there.
Question: What is this? The silver seems genuine but it appears to be a copper/siler alloy and not solid silver.
I have referred to these as vellon maravedis cobs (I have many of this type but all different in design). What do you think?
Thanks,
Badger
